Bar & Clubs Incidents – Make A Claim
If you have experienced personal injury from a slip or a fall while out celebrating in a bar or club a Personal Injury Bureau lawyer can help you receive the compensation you deserve for your injury.
Accidents in nightclubs are fairly common, everything from falling down the stairs to falling on the dance floor, but in many cases these injuries are not the fault of the injured party.
In most cases injuries compensations can be paid out on the bar or club owner’s Public Liability Insurance (PLI), in the case of falls and trips leading to injury, for example. Other cases, involving criminal injury can be directed to the CICA: Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.
Public Liability Insurance (PLI) – Public Liability Insurance is taken out by businesses which have members of the public visiting their premises. Public Liability Insurance provides personal injury compensation packages for visitors who have accidents – slips or trips being the most common types of claims.
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) – CICA is the government body responsible for administering Criminal Injuries Compensation in England, Scotland and Wales. The CICA provides services to victims of violent crime.
Types of Bar and Night Club Injury
Sadly some injuries in night clubs can be serious, even fatal. Club goers over the years have suffered a full range of injuries, including head injuries, neck injuries, burns, back trouble, broken limbs, scarring, cuts, bruises, and gashes involving broken glass.
These are just some of the many forms of bar and club injury which lead to successful claims for damages.
Reasons For Bar And Night Club Injury Claims
Pubs, bars, drinking clubs and nightclubs can be dangerous places for different reasons. They may be badly lit, resulting in collisions, falls, etc; and people are often drunk, or at least impaired by alcohol, and act stupidly or violently. Dropped drinks can cause wet surfaces leading to slippages and broken glass can lead to cuts.
There can also be obstacles like DJ equipment, drinks boxes, as well as scuffed or damages floors leading, again to trips and falls.
All of the above are types of situation which lead to people suffering an injury from an accident or a criminal injury following an attack, and which can lead to a compensation claim.
Take Legal Advice
Sometimes club and bar owners will claim it is your responsibility if you have suffered an injury or assault on their premises in such circumstances. They may even offer a drink or something by way of recompense, the fact being that many people are not readily aware that they may be entitled to more substantial forms of compensation. If you have suffered a personal injury in a bar or a club and want to know more about your legal rights to compensation why not contact the Personal Injury Bureau and let us direct you to a suitably qualified solicitor who can advise professionally on what your options are?
