Case Details

Inadequate security blamed for nightclub patron’s eye loss. On the night of Sept. 8, 2012, our client was a customer at club/restaurant when a fight broke out between two female customers inside the club sometime after 2:30 am. Our client contended two bouncers stood by during the fight and did nothing, causing the fight to continue for several minutes and escalate. Meanwhile, another customer sitting at the bar, who had refused to give up his glass when the fight started, subsequently hurled the glass toward the crowd. The glass struck the right side of our client’s face and shattered. Our client suffered lacerations over his right eyelids and right eye - cutting the eye in half, rupturing the eye globe, and expelling the internal contents. As a result, he underwent enucleation to remove the eye and now wears an ocular prosthesis.
