In Tennessee, Several Laws Play a Key Role in Brain Injury Claims
Brain injuries in Tennessee are primarily governed by personal injury laws. The following legal principles generally apply:
- Negligence Laws: If someone’s negligent actions or failure to act responsibly result in a brain injury, they may be held liable for the damages. Negligence laws provide the framework for establishing fault and determining liability.
- Comparative Fault: Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault system.
- Statute of Limitations: The statute of limitations sets a time limit within which legal action must be initiated. In Tennessee, personal injury claims, including those related to brain injuries, generally have a one-year statute of limitations. It’s crucial to file a lawsuit within this timeframe to preserve the right to seek compensation.
- Damages and Compensation: Tennessee law allows individuals who have sustained brain injuries to seek various types of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other economic and non-economic losses.
- Workers’ Compensation: If a brain injury occurs in the workplace, Tennessee’s workers’ compensation laws may come into play, providing benefits to individuals who suffer work-related injuries.
- Product Liability: Manufacturers and sellers can be held responsible for injuries resulting from defective or dangerous products.
- Premises Liability: If a brain injury occurs due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s property, premises liability laws may be invoked.
