If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence of a bouncer or other security personnel at a bar, nightclub, concert, sports game or other event, you may be entitled to compensation. When security staff or bouncers are too aggressive and assault and cause serious injury, they can be held accountable in a civil claim brought by the injured victim or their family.
In Ontario, the Occupier’s Liability Act requires that the owners and operators of nightclubs, sporting events, and concerts ensure that patrons are reasonably safe while they are attending the event.
An occupier/ owner has the responsibility to keep the place safe at all times. They should ensure that people entering the premises or the things that are brought inside the premises are safe.
They also have the duty to train security staff on properly handling incidents without causing undue physical harm to anyone involved. Bouncers and security guards are entitled to be provided with adequate training, instruction, and supervision.
Assault by bouncer or security staff can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries and, sometimes, even death.
