Compensation for Being Cut by Broken Glass in Nightclub

Mr G was spending the evening at a popular nightclub in his hometown when he was injured and left with permanent scarring after being cut by broken glass. Mr G was crossing a poorly lit area of the nightclub when he lost his footing and fell forwards onto the hard floor, landing on an empty bottle of spirits that had been previously discarded by a nearby table of revellers.

The bottle smashed against his shoulder on impact, with a large shard cutting into his upper arm and leaving a deep and jagged wound. Mr G was subsequently taken to hospital by ambulance and passed out during the journey due to loss of blood. The hospital later confirmed that Mr G had not been drinking excessively on the night in question and that his senses were therefore not impaired at the time of the accident. He required almost 20 stitches in his arm, and was left with a thick scar that he was told by doctors would never disappear completely.

  • Our Legal Advice
Mr G later contacted Bartletts Solicitors after reading about our experience in representing clients involved in nightclub accidents, and our firm agreed to take on his claim on a no win no fee basis. In correspondence with the nightclub and its insurers, we highlighted the duty of care that the occupiers of public premises owe their visitors under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, in terms of protecting them from the risk of injury as far as reasonably possible.

Having requested and received details of the inspection and cleaning procedures at the nightclub, we contended that inspections in certain areas of the venue were insufficiently regular, and that on the night of the accident the nightclub was full to capacity, yet did not have sufficient numbers of staff on duty to effectively identify and deal with hazards within a reasonable timeframe. Within a few months of initiating the claim the nightclub accepted liability for the accident, and Mr G received personal injury compensation totalling £3,250.

If you have suffered an injury as a result of an accident in a nightclub that was not your fault, it will often be possible to claim compensation.
