Have You Been Injured in a Nightclub Altercation?

Bar/restaurant/nightclub injury, wrongful death, premises liability claims in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Maryland, Virginia

When people go out to bars and clubs in D.C. and Baltimore, they expect to enjoy the nightlife scene and have a good time. Sadly, for too many people, what should have been an enjoyable night out ends in violent attacks, beatings, needless injuries, and even death. Others have been subjected to unnecessarily dangerous conditions that harmed them. If you have been the victim of serious violence that caused a catastrophic injury at a nightclub or bar, our experienced injury lawyers can help.

Under the law of premises liability, owners and managers of nightclubs and bars may be held accountable for violent crimes, shootings, accidents, wrongful deaths or injuries. Nightclub, restaurant, and bar security staff and bouncers may also be held accountable for assault and battery when excessive force is employed.

Law protects victims of nightclub and bar injuries

If you or someone you love was the victim of a beating, attack, shooting, accident, injury, or even death in a nightclub or bar, you may be outraged and wondering how you can seek justice. Fortunately, the law provides options for those who have been the victims of needless nightclub or bar negligence.

Nightclubs and bars in Baltimore and D.C. are required by law to ensure the reasonable safety of their patrons. When they breach this duty, the law allows injured victims to hold nightclubs, restaurants, bars, and other commercial establishments accountable.

Clubs, lounges, restaurants, and bars may also be held accountable for injuries resulting in part from inadequate security staffing, unreasonably dim lighting, and lack of proper safety signage or exit doors.

By filing a nightclub injury claim, you may be able to seek compensation for your damages including future medical care needs such as physical therapy, lost past and future wages, emotional pain and suffering, hospital and ambulance bills, and other expenses.

Nightclubs that have a known history of violence and assault by patrons and security staff are more likely to be held accountable.

Our bar injury attorneys understand how to use the legal system to thoroughly investigate a nightclub’s crime and incident history to build a robust case for our clients. Our seasoned attorneys will take you through the legal process, explain your options, and walk you through the litigation process. In order to seek the maximum amount of compensation for your injury, it is critical to retain an attorney who is deeply knowledgeable about the insurance business and what legal steps are required to hold a nightclub, bar, or restaurant owner liable for your injuries.
