How can I get sue a bar for negligence, after being assauted in the bar?

you can sometimes recover from the bar owner, if you can show the owner was negligent and that negligence was a cause of the assault. such examples would be serving the person more alcohol than they should have, if it was obvious that he was out of control, or underage, or had a history of violent actions they knew about. if they could have prevented the assault and did nothing to try to do so, they could also be held liable. each case depends on the facts. if you can provide additional facts i can be more specific. you must file suit within one year of the date of the assault in tn. thank you, jay stillman
