Orlando Club Assault Lawyer
A night out at an Orlando nightclub or bar should be fun and safe, but sometimes negligent security or reckless employees create dangerous situations. When assaults occur inside or outside of entertainment venues, victims can suffer severe injuries, trauma, and long-term emotional distress. If you were attacked or injured due to poor security or a violent employee, an experienced Orlando club assault lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you seek justice and compensation.
Understanding Club Assault Liability
Club owners and security staff have a duty to protect patrons from foreseeable harm. When they fail to provide adequate security, overserve alcohol, or employ aggressive bouncers, they can be held legally responsible for resulting injuries. Spencer Morgan Law has extensive experience representing victims of nightclub and bar assaults. We understand Florida’s premises liability and negligent security laws, and we fight to hold those in charge accountable.
Common Causes of Club and Bar Assaults
- Inadequate security or lack of trained personnel
- Overcrowded or poorly monitored venues
- Overserving intoxicated patrons
- Negligent hiring of violent or untrained employees
- Bouncers using excessive force
- Failure to control altercations or prevent fights
We thoroughly investigate every detail, from witness statements to security footage, to determine how the assault occurred and who is liable.
Steps to Take After a Club Assault
- Call 911 immediately and report the incident to law enforcement.
- Seek medical attention for all injuries.
- Document your injuries and the scene with photos if possible.
- Get the names and contact information of witnesses.
- Report the incident to the club manager, but do not sign or record statements.
- Contact Spencer Morgan Law as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Injuries Commonly Sustained in Club Assaults
Assaults inside or around nightclubs can lead to both physical and emotional harm. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones or facial fractures
- Concussions or head trauma
- Cuts and bruises from physical altercations
- Back and spinal injuries
- Emotional distress, anxiety, or PTSD
In some cases, victims may require extensive therapy, reconstructive surgery, or rehabilitation.
Compensation for Victims of Club Assaults
Victims of nightclub or bar assaults may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and therapy expenses
- Punitive damages in extreme cases of negligence or violence
Our goal is to hold negligent establishments accountable and ensure victims receive full financial recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue the nightclub if I was attacked by another patron?
Yes. If the club failed to provide proper security or allowed unsafe conditions, they can be held liable for your injuries.
What if I was assaulted by a bouncer?
You can pursue a claim against both the bouncer and the club for negligent hiring, training, or supervision.
What if alcohol was involved in the assault?
If over-service of alcohol contributed to the attack, the establishment may also be liable under Florida’s dram shop laws.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury claim.
What if the club denies responsibility?
Clubs often deny fault, but our firm collects witness accounts, video evidence, and employment records to prove negligence.
