Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Tennessee
Organ donation
Can I sue a hospital if my son died and the hospital took organ parts from his body, without permission, his or mine? My son was 29, never married and I was his next of kin. He did not authorize organ donation on his drivers license

Re: Organ donation
It is possible that you could sue for the removal of body parts without consent. We would need more details about the death and removal before we can give you a definitive answer.
