Florida Crime Victim Advocates Victim Advocate: Injured at Bars & Nightclubs

You went out to a bar or nightclub for a night of fun – only to have the fun ruined by a brutal attack or assault. The victim advocates experts at Victim Advocate want to ensure you know your rights and expense compensation, so you can get justice for your injuries. That’s why we’ve put together this information about what you should do if you get attacked at a bar or nightclub.

If you still have questions or want to discuss your case, schedule an appointment for a free consultation with the experienced crime victim advocates at Victim Advocate.

What Should I Do if I Get Attacked at a Bar or Nightclub in Florida?

Getting attacked at a bar or nightclub can be confusing and frustrating. What should you do? Who do you report the attack to? Here are the steps you should take if you get attacked at a nightclub or bar in Florida. Note that the order you take these steps may vary depending on the severity of your injuries – please prioritize seeking medical help for severe injuries.

Inform the bar’s management about the attack
Get the contact information of witnesses who saw the attack
Seek medical attention
File a police report
Send a Spoliation of Evidence letter to the bar so they don’t get rid of the evidence of your attack
Avoid talking to an insurance agent or other representative from the bar
Preserve evidence
Contact a victim advocate

How Do I Prove a Negligent Security Case?

To win a negligent security case as a crime victim against a bar or nightclub, you must be able to prove these four things:

The bar/nightclub owed you a duty of care to keep you safe and warn you about potential dangers
The bar/nightclub breached this duty of care by not taking reasonable measures to keep you safe on their premises
This breach led to your attack and injuries
You suffered damages (best proved by medical records and a police report)

Can I Get Help With a Negligent Security Claim?

Yes! The experienced crime victim advocates at Victim Advocate know precisely how to give you the best chances of succeeding with your negligent security claim. Our victim advocates know the ins and outs of the criminal justice system, and how to use that knowledge to help victims find justice and recover. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Can I Sue a Restaurant, Bar, or Nightclub if I Was Injured Due to Inadequate Security?

Yes. Restaurants, bars, and nightclubs owe you a duty of care to keep you safe on their property. If you were injured due to inadequate security, you can sue them to get compensation for your injuries.

You must be able to prove that the attack that caused your injuries could have been foreseeable and that there’s something the business could have done to prevent your attack. The expert Florida negligent security and victim advocates at Victim Advocate may be able to help you prove your case.

What Compensation Can I Receive if I File a Negligent Security Claim?

If you file a negligent security claim against a business, you may be entitled to a variety of types of compensation, including money for things like:

Medical bills
Lost income
Property damage
Disability
Emotional suffering
Disfigurement
Pain and suffering
Depression or anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Every case is different, so contact Victim Advocate for more information.

Contact A Florida Crime Victim Advocate For Help

Not everybody who gets injured at a bar or nightclub can sue for negligent security, and every case is different. That’s why Victim Advocate offers free consultations at all of our South Florida locations. Only by talking to one of our expert victim advocates can you know whether or not you have a case.

If we take on your case, you don’t pay any fees upfront. You only pay us if we get you money, so contact us today.

FAQs

How Can a Florida Negligent Security Victim Advocate Help Me?

The expert Florida negligent security victim advocates at Victim Advocate have years of experience getting compensation for people who were injured due to negligent security, just like you. The bar (or their insurance company) is unlikely to give you money to cover your medical bills voluntarily, and if they do, it will be the bare minimum.

Even after deducting fees (usually about a third of your settlement), people who hire personal injury victim advocate get an average of 3.5 times more money than people who don’t hire a victim advocate.

If Victim Advocate takes your case, we don’t charge any fees unless we get you money, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by scheduling a free consultation today.

What to Do If You're Involved In a Fight

If somebody started a fight with you at a bar or nightclub, you may be able to sue the facility if you can prove their negligence – such as continuing to serve a visibly drunk patron or letting in a customer who is known to be a trouble-maker – led to the fight. You must also be able to prove:

The other person started the fight with you for no good reason
You did not contribute to your injuries
The other person caused your injuries
You can verify your damages (like with medical records)

All cases are unique, so if you were injured in a bar fight, you should contact Victim Advocate for a free consultation. We have offices across South Florida to serve you.

How Much Time Do I Have to Sue?

The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in Florida is 4 years. That means you have 4 years from the date of your attack to file a lawsuit against the bar or nightclub where you were injured.

However, time is of the essence. Many places delete their surveillance camera footage after a set period, and other evidence may get harder to find as time passes, so it’s best to pursue a negligent security lawsuit as soon as possible.

Victim Advocate has the experience to help you win your case. Schedule a free consultation today to start the ball rolling well before you run out of time to pursue financial damages.

What Should I Do if I Was Assaulted at a Bar in Florida?

If you get attacked at a bar or nightclub in Florida, you should take the following steps (in whatever order makes the most sense based on the severity of your injuries):

Seek medical attention
Get contact information from witnesses
Inform the bar’s management about the assault
Preserve evidence
Avoid talking to an insurance agent
Contact a Victim Advocate

Victim Advocate has offices across South Florida, making it easy for you to get a free consultation and start pursuing the compensation you deserve for your injuries. We have years of experience fighting to get our clients the money they need to pay off medical bills and move forward with their life after an assault. Contact us today.
