We visit nightclubs, bars, restaurants etc to have a good time and enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, many such events end on a tragic or unpleasant note, when people are attacked by fellow patrons at the venue, or are injured by the negligence, fault or actions of security guards, bouncers, etc.
Contact a Cache Bay personal injury lawyer if you or a loved one has been injured by the actions of a security guard or bouncer.
Role of Bouncers/Security Guards
Bouncers and security guards may fail to protect patrons against the attacks of others and they must also ensure that their own actions do not harm or injure others. However, in reality, bouncers and security guards tend to use force and muscle power to carry out their jobs.
As our top Toronto personal injury lawyers can advise, bouncers/security personnel have no special status or immunity in law. They are supposed to :
- Issue verbal warnings
- check your ID
- ask patrons to leave
- refuse entry to intoxicated or aggressive patrons or those who refuse to comply with the rules of the establishment
- break up fights
- call the police
- protect innocent bystanders from violence
Apart from these, they are supposed to receive training in using verbal methods to diffuse potentially dangerous situations rather than using physical force.
In reality, as our experienced Cache Bay injury lawyers know, bouncers can and do use physical methods to control unruly patrons. They are not supposed to use sticks, batons, weapons, pepper sprays etc, or use tackling, martial arts, holding techniques. They are not allowed to hit, punch or kick.
How We Can Assist
When you know how to select the best personal injury lawyer, it makes getting compensation for your injuries that much more possible.
Dealing with multiple at-fault parties, insurance agencies, legal representatives etc can be challenging. Often, the bouncer’s own insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover your present and future medical expenses in case of serious injuries. Hence, top personal injury lawyers in Ontario can conduct independent investigations into the case and fix the chain of liability appropriately on to other parties who are responsible for your safety.
