Premises Liability | Bar Fights and Liability | What Everyone Should Know
Rick Millian • Jul 07, 2020
How to hold a bar, restaurant, or establishment responsible for injuries you sustain when injured by another person at a bar, restaurant, or other establishment.
You and your friends go to the local sports bar to watch the football game. You are having a great time when suddenly three visibly drunk and rowdy guys show up to the bar. You watch them stand at the bar, order a few beers and a few shots. They are yelling at the television as their team is losing. Ultimately their team loses, and as you make your way to the bathroom (wearing the team colors of the team that beat theirs), the unruly men taunt you and threaten you. You try to ignore them the best you can. After you exit the restroom, the men at the bar continue to insult you. You go back to your table, things escalate, and the next thing you know... you have a severe injury.
When visiting a bar, restaurant, or any establishment, you are a guest/an invitee. You have a right to enjoy the public services safely from undue harm or injury.
Premise Liability and Fights
When visiting a bar, restaurant, or any establishment, you are a guest/an invitee. You have a right to enjoy the public services safely from undue harm or injury. The bar must do everything within reason to ensure guest safety and well-being. This includes preventing people from getting punched.
Each case is different and must be reviewed to determine if the owner did do everything within reason or if they were negligent in protecting patrons. Premise law extends beyond the bar itself, and owners are responsible for providing safe parking lots, alley-ways, and all other property that surrounds the bar.

Stop me if you heard this before from politicians, if we pass this bill it will bring down insurance rates and if it doesn’t we will address the rates later. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Every year the insurance industry lobbies the state legislature for “reform” that it says will reduce insurance rates. Fortunately, until now, drastic “reform” has not occurred and the insurance lobby has not been able to get its wish list passed by the state. Unfortunately, Governor Ron DeSantis and his allies have indicated that they are about to give the insurance industry the biggest gift they can, all in the name of “tort reform”. HB 837 does nothing except strengthen the insurance companies and deny victims meaningful access to the courts, representation by an attorney and access to medical care.
