2021 Tennessee Code|Title 29 - Remedies and Special Proceedings|Chapter 38 - Drug Dealer Liability Act|§ 29-38-111. Comparative Fault

  An action by an individual drug user is governed by the principles of comparative fault.

Comparative fault shall not be attributed to a plaintiff that is not an individual drug user.

  Proof of participation in the illegal drug market in an action brought under this chapter shall be shown by clear and convincing evidence. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, other elements of the cause of action shall be shown by a preponderance of the evidence.   A person against whom recovery is sought, who has a criminal conviction pursuant to state drug laws or the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, Public Law 91-513, 84 Stat. 1236, codified at 21 U.S.C. § 801 et seq., is estopped from denying participation in the illegal drug market. Such a conviction is also prima facie evidence of the person's participation in the illegal drug market during the two (2) years preceding the date of an act giving rise to a conviction.   The absence of a criminal drug conviction of a person against whom recovery is sought does not bar an action against that person.

  Except as otherwise provided in this section, a claim under this chapter shall not be brought more than two (2) years after the cause of action accrues. A cause of action accrues under this chapter when a person who may recover has reason to know of the harm from illegal drug use that is the basis for the cause of action and has reason to know that the illegal drug use is the cause of the harm.   For a plaintiff, the statute of limitations under this chapter is tolled while the individual potential plaintiff is incapacitated by the use of an illegal drug to the extent that the individual cannot reasonably be expected to seek recovery under this chapter, or as otherwise provided by law. For a defendant, the statute of limitations under this chapter is tolled until six (6) months after the individual potential defendant is convicted of a criminal drug offense, or as otherwise provided by law.   The statute of limitations under this chapter for a claim based on participation in the illegal drug market that occurred prior to July 1, 2005, does not begin to run until July 1, 2005.

  If liability is found in a civil action, then the trier of fact, in addition to other appropriate findings, shall make separate findings for each claimant specifying the amount of:  Any past damages for each of the following types of damages:  Medical and other costs of health care;   Other economic damages; and   Noneconomic damages; and     Any future damages and the periods over which they will accrue for each of the following types of damages:  Medical and other costs of health care;   Other economic damages; and   Noneconomic damages.       If the plaintiff claims a catastrophic loss or injury has occurred, and if there is a disputed issue of fact regarding whether such loss or injury has occurred, the trier of fact must make a specific finding of fact, by special verdict, that the loss or injury suffered by the plaintiff is catastrophic as defined in § 29-39-102(d).   The calculation of all future medical care and other costs of health care and future noneconomic losses must reflect the costs and losses during the period of time the claimant will sustain those costs and losses. The calculation for other economic loss must be based on the losses during the period of time the claimant would have lived but for the injury upon which the claim is based. All such calculations of future losses shall be adjusted to reflect net present value.

  The court may appoint a receiver:  Before judgment, to protect a party that demonstrates an apparent right, title, or interest in real property that is the subject of the action, if the property or the property's revenue-producing potential:  Is being subjected to or is in danger of waste, loss, dissipation, or impairment; or   Has been or is about to be the subject of a voidable transaction;     After judgment:  To carry the judgment into effect; or   To preserve nonexempt real property pending appeal or when an execution has been returned unsatisfied and the owner refuses to apply the property in satisfaction of the judgment;     In an action in which a receiver for real property may be appointed on equitable grounds; or   During the time allowed for redemption, to preserve real property sold in an execution or foreclosure sale and secure the property's rents to the person entitled to the property's rents.
