Description
This appeal involves an action for damages caused by the explosion of a used cars radiator. The purchaser of the car filed the action in the Circuit Court for Davidson County against the dealer who sold him the car alleging that dealers negligent repair of the radiator had caused it to explode. The dealer denied liability insisting that the radiator had been altered after he sold the car and that the injuries sustained by the purchaser and his son were the result of their own negligence. During the trial, the defendant attempted to introduce a complaint the purchaser and his son had filed against another defendant. The trial court held that this complaint was hearsay and declined to admit it. Thereafter, the jury returned a verdict for the purchaser and his son for compensatory and punitive damages.
