I was in East Tennessee yesterday, so I apologize for a lapse in the posts. However, this one is a good one (if I do say so myself).
If you have any question about the admissibility of your expert's testimony, or even if you don't but you still want to stay current, you should read Brown v. Crown Equipment Corporation (http://www.tsc.state.tn.us/OPINIONS/TSC/PDF/054/BrownCopn.pdf).
You may need to Google this link for it to come up.
The admissibility of expert testimony in Tennessee is governed by McDaniel v. CSX Transportation, Inc., 955 S.W.2d 257 (Tenn. 1997). In Brown, the Tennessee Supreme Court held that all of the nonexclusive factors set out in McDaniel are not mandated, and do not need to be present, for an expert's testimony to admissible.
This is a must-read case.
