Bar Fights Do Cause Serious Injuries. An Experienced Personal Injury Attorney Will Perform a Detailed Investigation to Determine Who Was at Fault.
When a bar or nightclub opens for business, the bar owners have a legal duty to provide a safe environment for their patrons. Bartenders and alcohol servers must follow state liquor laws and make sure that they do not serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person. In addition, bars and nightclubs in Philadelphia, Bucks County, and New Jersey have to hire, train, and supervise security personnel, otherwise known as bouncers. Bouncers have to act in compliance with liquor control laws, and all other laws and standards, since they do not have the same legal authority as police officers.
When a fight in a bar occurs, the bar security or bouncers must safely intervene and separate the people fighting. The bouncers must then diffuse the situation in a safe manner. If the bouncers do not quickly respond to safely break up the fight and a bar patron is personally injured, the bar and the bouncers should be held responsible for the injuries for their failure to maintain safety at the bar or club. If the bouncers or security personnel exceed their legal authority and abuse or mishandle the situation causing a patron to be injured, the bar or nightclub and the bouncers should be held responsible for the personal injuries.
All incidents involving personal injuries in a liquor serving establishment in Pennsylvania or New Jersey should be documented. If a bar or nightclub patron is injured due to the negligence of the bar, bouncers, or other employees, the bar’s liability insurance policy may provide coverage for a personal injury claim. If the bouncers are found to assault a bar patron, often times the bar’s insurance company will not provide insurance coverage for the incident. If the bartenders serve a visibly intoxicated person, and that person leaves the bar and injures or kills someone, the Philadelphia bar or nightclub may be held responsible for the personal injuries or wrongful death.

“I was in a serious accident in 2021. My injuries were new however they mimicked some of the injuries I received in a 2017 accident. After treating with 2 doctors, both who stated my injuries were permanent, I was recommended to Cordisco & Saile. My attorney, Steven DeBonis, was wonderful. He listened and guided me through the process. He worked endlessly to ensure I received a proper settlement. I am so grateful for his effort and kindness. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed someone to fight for them. The staff was friendly, informative and helpful. They are the best legal team around. Thank you for all you have done.”
I had a slip and fall on Saturday, December 21, 2024. I waited a few days before calling Barbara’s firm and when I decided to reach out, I left a message late at night on the 23rd. First thing Christmas Eve day, Barbara calls me to let me know. She received the message and wanted to chat about my fall. She was extremely professional, detailed the process, and what they would look for in terms of backup documentation, but also instilled a sense of safety and security because she was kind, compassionate and empathetic. She gave the distinct impression that my case would be well researched thoroughly but also be done ethically without having me jump through a whole lot of extra hoops. Five stars, would highly recommend.”
“I had a car accident in January 2019. I called Cordisco and Saile. Michael Saile Jr. worked with me along with his associate Steve, and para legal Michele. They treated me with kindness and respect. I had injuries to my neck and spine. I went through months of physical therapy. The person who t- boned my car had no license, registration or insurance, therefore Mr. Saile had to put together a lawsuit against my own insurance company. I had limited tort insurance but Mr. Saile and his people fought to get me the most money that I was entitled to from my insurance company. It took four years due to the pandemic but they kept at it until they reached the maximum. I cannot thank them enough. Everyone in their office worked very hard for me. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who has had an accident, or any legal work.”
