California Nightclub and Bar Injury Lawyers
Bars, nightclubs and entertainment venues are expected to keep their guests reasonably safe. When a venue cuts corners on security, crowd control or maintenance, patrons can suffer serious injuries. If you were hurt at a bar or nightclub in California, Yerushalmi Law Firm can look into whether the venue or another party should be held responsible.
Common Nightclub and Bar Injuries
- Assaults and fights caused by poor security or overserving
- Slip and fall accidents on wet, sticky or cluttered floors
- Injuries from overcrowding, stampedes or blocked exits
- Falls on poorly lit stairs, ramps and dance floors
- Fires and other safety hazards
- Injuries involving parking lots, valets and drunk drivers leaving the venue
Negligent Security
Venues that serve alcohol and attract large crowds have a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm. That can include hiring trained security, controlling entry, monitoring the premises and responding quickly to trouble. When a venue ignores known risks, it may be responsible for the harm that follows.
What To Do After an Injury at a Bar or Club
- Get medical attention right away, and call the police if you were assaulted.
- Report the incident to management and ask for a copy of any incident report.
- Take photos of the scene and your injuries, and collect witness names and contact details.
- Save receipts, tabs and tickets that show you were at the venue.
- Speak with an attorney before talking to the venue’s insurance company.
