Safety at a Night Club
Fort Lauderdale and South Beach can be considered party central every weekend in South Florida, and on any given Monday we receive calls from victims of personal injury, whether it’s a slip and fall injury or the victim of a fight at a club or a pedestrian accident seeking legal counsel.
At the usual spring break festivities there were some incidents that occurred over the week, some serious to warrant police and a trip to the emergency room and others minor where paramedics have dealt with the injury and released. Recently our Fort Lauderdale office received a call from a man in his early 20’s, seeking legal counsel. He states that he was out partying with some friends that were visiting for the break, where he received the injury. Apparently he was partying at a night club on Fort Lauderdale beach, when he got into an altercation with another patron at the club, there was a fight and he was stabbed. Police and paramedics were called to the scene; he suffered a flesh wound and a punctured liver and had to be hospitalized.
Investigations were conducted by the authorities and our office also did some investigative work on behalf of the victim. Reports from the police showed that the nightclub did not have the required amount of security on the said night which makes then liable. Our client would be able to file claim against the night club for “negligent security”.
Should you or a loved one find yourself a victim of this type of injury or should you know someone that was in the same situation they should immediately seek legal counsel to ensure that they receive the compensation that they deserve for their damages and medical bills incurred.
