At The King Firm, we are committed to educating the public about the risks of activities and their rights to compensation when injuries occur. It is important for bar owners to understand all of the risks they are undertaking, and patrons should be aware of what might happen and what is compensable.
Following are the top four liabilities in bars. Meanwhile, if you have been injured in a bar accident, contact us today for legal assistance.
Mechanical bulls, dart boards, shot chairs, and the flaming alcohol tricks of a bartender are great draws to a bar, but they also pose potential hazards. Falls, trips, slips, and burns are possible in these scenarios.
General liability insurance will cover injuries from activities, but only if they are disclosed to the agent. Bar owners may have to pay a higher premium to cover injuries from particular activities, such as the flaming bar trick.
Blocked exit doors can often lead to injury, and they can be common in a busy bar. Bar owners have a responsibility to ensure that exit doors are clear and open for patrons. It is a good idea to have a bouncer or doorman who ensures that the exits remain clear.
Blocked exit doors can lead to many injuries, including twisted ankles, being inadvertently shoved into an object, or being unable to leave a dangerous situation. While not all of these are compensable, they all damage the bar’s reputation and cause at least emotional harm to patrons.
Louisiana has an anti-dram shop law that removes liability from bar owners for activities of intoxicated individuals once they leave the premises. However, the bar can still be liable for the actions of intoxicated individuals they served while they are on the premises.
This means that if someone is seriously injured in a bar fight because a patron was overserved and started an altercation, that person may be able to sue the bar owner for their injuries. These types of injuries are not covered by general liability insurance, and it is the bar owner’s responsibility to ensure they have the proper coverage.
The limitation of liability imposed by Louisiana law does not apply when the intoxicated person is a minor. It is the bar’s responsibility to ensure they are not accepting fake IDs from minors. Many fakes can be very convincing, so the King Firm recommends that all bars use ID scanners.
If an intoxicated minor served by a bar commits a crime or causes injury to someone else, the bar can be held liable for its role in serving the minor alcohol.
If you were injured at a bar, you may be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury attorney to learn if your injury is covered by law. Contact The King Firm today at (877) 909-5464 for more information or to schedule a free consultation.
