Torts_Statute of Limitations and Statute of Repose in Tennessee
This episode breaks down Tennessee’s statutes of limitations and repose, focusing on how they apply to medical malpractice and product liability cases. We explore the “discovery rule,” which determines when the clock starts for filing claims, and how fraudulent concealment can extend deadlines in malpractice cases. In product liability, we examine the strict statute of repose, which sets a firm deadline for lawsuits regardless of when an injury is discovered. Through key Tennessee Supreme Court cases, we unpack the complexities, exceptions, and practical implications of these legal timelines, offering insight into filing lawsuits under Tennessee law.
Cases discussed in this episode:
Hataway v. Mckinley, 830 S.W.2d 53 (Tenn. 1992); Spence v. Miles Laboratories, Inc., 810 F. Supp. 952 (E.D. Tenn. 1992); Stanbury v. Bacardi, 953 S.W.2d 671(Tenn. 1997); Roe v. Jefferson, 875 S.W.2d 653 (Tenn. 1994); Shadrick v. Coker, 963 S.W.2d 726 (Tenn. 1998).
