You have to prove that the product\u2019s maker or seller should be made to pay for your injuries. <a href=\"https:\/\/statelaws.findlaw.com\/tennessee-law\/tennessee-product-liability-laws-.html\">Product liability laws vary from state to state<\/a>, but essentially you have to prove the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/tennessee\/2010\/title-29\/chapter-28\/\">You were injured or suffered damages<\/a>.<\/strong> Just because a product is faulty or doesn\u2019t work like you thought it would is not enough. It has to have actually caused some real loss or injury to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The product is defective, and the defect caused your injuries\/damages<\/strong>. You\u2019ll have to show the product had a design flaw or manufacturing error that caused an unreasonable danger that was not obvious to a consumer\u2026and that it was the defect, not any negligence or recklessness on your part, that caused the injury\/damage.<\/li>\n<li>You were using the product as it was intended and weren\u2019t given any reasonable warnings. You have to prove you weren\u2019t using the product in some unwise or outlandish way, and that there were no \u201cwarning\u201d or \u201ccaution\u201d stickers or statements on the product, packaging or instruction manual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re injured by a product, don\u2019t try to fix it, test it, or re-create what occurred. Keep the product \u201cas is\u201d; if it\u2019s lost or altered from its original condition, that can make your claim harder to prove.
