BAR & NIGHTCLUB INCIDENTS

Injury incidents occurring at bars and nightclubs are often complicated by the presence of large groups, conflicting witness statements, and the presence of alcohol.

However, California courts have held that a business “may owe an affirmative duty to protect another from the conduct of third parties if he or she has a 'special relationship' with the other person.” (Delgado v. Trax Bar & Grill, (2005) 36 Cal. 4th 224, 235). What this means to say is that bars and clubs have a duty to provide a safe place for their patrons, even if it means protecting against the criminal or negligent actions of another person.
