When you go out for a night of fun, you shouldn’t have to fear for your life.
But far too often, nightclub owners and bar operators cut corners on security — and innocent people get seriously hurt.

At GOLDLAW, we represent victims who have been assaulted, shot, or harmed in nightclubs due to negligent security. If you were injured at a bar, club, or lounge, you may be entitled to compensation — not just from the attacker, but from the business that failed to keep you safe.

What Is Negligent Security in a Nightclub?

Florida law requires property owners — including nightlife venues — to take reasonable steps to protect guests from foreseeable harm. That means if a club is located in a high-crime area or has a history of violence, they’re legally obligated to have proper security measures in place.

Negligent security might include:

No or undertrained security guards

Lack of pat-downs or bag checks at the door

No ID checks or over-serving of intoxicated guests

Poor lighting in parking lots or exits

Broken surveillance systems

Ignoring threats or aggressive behavior inside the venue

Common Nightclub Incidents We See

GOLDLAW has handled cases involving:

Physical assaults by patrons or bouncers

Shootings or stabbings on-site or just outside

Sexual assaults in dark corners, bathrooms, or parking areas

Fights that escalated due to lack of intervention

Injuries caused by overcrowding or unsafe conditions

These incidents are not “just part of the nightlife.” They are preventable — and they are unacceptable.

Who’s Responsible?

Depending on the circumstances, you may have a claim against:

The nightclub owner

The property management company

The security contractor

The event promoter or operator

We investigate not just what happened that night — but what the venue failed to do leading up to it.

What You May Be Entitled To

Through a civil lawsuit, you could recover compensation for:

Emergency room and hospital bills

Ongoing medical care or therapy

Lost income or job loss

Pain and suffering

PTSD or emotional distress

We also pursue punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence.
