Client Testimonial
I was referred to Phil and Ed by a good friend after my two prior lawyers dropped the ball on my case. I was viciously assaulted at a bar. Phil and Ed took my case on and it was night and day. They stood up for me and kept in regular contact. I never had to guess what was going on with my case. They conducted a thorough investigation and collected crucial evidence that helped prove my case. Initially, the bar refused to take responsibility but eventually the bar relented after the job Phil and Ed did. Ultimately, the case resolved favorably for much more than I expected. Thanks so much again Phil an Ed!”

Premises Liability Claims
In many instances, assault incidents at bars and nightclubs happen because of negligent security and premises liability concerns. Individuals who visit a bar, restaurant, or other business that is open to the public should reasonably expect that the premises will be free and safe from all hazards and defects. When premises owners fail to warn about or correct premises defects, and a patron is injured on the premises, then the premises owner could be held responsible for any resulting injuries and damages.
More specifically, in the State of California, business owners are required to provide all of the following on their premises:
- Working locks
- Sufficient lighting
- Adequate staffing
- Well-trained and experienced security guards
In the event a bar bouncer or security guard does not properly take action to prevent a patron from suffering harm caused by another guest, then the premises owner could be liable for the injuries and damages that result from the incident. The same could be true if a security guard or doorman uses excessive force in the process of removing a boisterous guest from the bar – or when a security guard physically attacks a bar patron.
History of Violence at a Bar
If you are in the process of pursuing a premises liability claim against the bar owner, it is important to know whether the bar in question has a history of fighting or violence associated with it. In cases where California nightclubs and bars have a history of violence, their owners owe patrons a duty to be aware of those risks – and more importantly – to take corrective measures to avoid such violence again, such as by hiring additional security personnel. When the bar owner fails in this regard, he or she could be liable for any injuries sustained by a bar patron in a subsequent bar fight.
