How do I present a negligent security case in court?

Presenting a negligent security case in court in Tennessee requires proving that the defendant acted negligently. This means proving that the defendant had a duty to keep the property safe and failed to do so. In Tennessee, this is called a negligence-based liability. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant had an obligation to keep the property safe, that the defendant failed to do so, and that the plaintiff suffered an injury or loss as a result. To prove that the defendant had an obligation, the plaintiff may provide evidence that the defendant had a contractual relationship with the plaintiff, or that the defendant had a legal duty to exercise reasonable care in protecting the plaintiff. To prove the defendant failed to keep the property safe, the plaintiff might provide evidence that the defendant failed to use appropriate security measures. To prove that the plaintiff suffered a loss or injury, the plaintiff will need to provide evidence that the injury or loss resulted from the defendant’s failure to keep the property safe. If the plaintiff is able to provide evidence to prove all of the required elements, the plaintiff may be able to successfully present a negligent security case in court. The court will then consider all of the evidence presented and make a decision regarding liability.
