Nightclub-Bar-Scene-300x192Preventing Alcohol Related Injuries and Violence

By law, nightclub owners are required to protect all guests legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. As alcohol is frequently a factor in nightclub violence and injuries, this includes taking appropriate measures to prevent the sale of alcohol to intoxicated or underage guests. Nightclub & Bar magazine urges industry owners to certify staff in alcohol server training. Such training programs will educate owners, managers and staff on preventing underage drinking, recognizing signs of intoxication, and deterring drunk driving.

Nightclub Responsibility and Patron Rights

Bar and nightclub patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on property. Should a nightclub owner or manager fail to provide adequate safety and security measures, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.

I Am a Victim of Nightclub Violence. Should I Hire an Attorney that has Telephoned Me or Contacted Me Directly?

The American Bar Association Rule 7.3 states that a lawyer “shall not” contact a prospective Client through a “live telephone” or an “in-person” visit. If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.
