My question involves injury or loss that occurred in the state of: CA
I was away over the long weekend visiting a friend in Mountain View California
We went into a bar/lounge there in Mountain View. I live in NY and unlike here
They don't check you on the body, only your ID, so basically you can carry anything inside the bar, gun or anything dangerous
Well we were there for an hour and later on moved to the dance floor to shake a leg
Turns out within a few minutes there was a big push from behind, some huge dude
Arguing with somebody. I turned around to move away and immediately was sucker punched by another guy from the side who though I had pushed him and his girlfriend although I had nothing to do with it. Obviously this was verified and told to him by the bouncers too as there was one watching the dance floor. As soon as he hit me and realized what he done he tried to run., the bouncer caught him and took him out
Another bouncer tried to help my bleeding nose with ice and lot of table cloth. Next thing Im taking outside the bar and asked to be driven to the ER. Me and my friend
ask about the details of the guy but the other bouncer comes back and tells us his friends came in between and then he wrested his way but we didn't see his friends outside. Again Im still bleeding a lot so they try to push me in the car to get to ER
IN the ER it turns out my nose is not broken but my septum has got crooked. At the ER the cops are called and do the report and go straight to the bar. I get a call back next day that the bouncer unfortunately dint takes his id. After coming back and
seeing series of tests and specialists Im being asked to undergo septoplasty to avoid breathing issues
What are my options
1) Can i go after the bar since the bouncer should have got his id. Theya re there for the protection . Isnt the their duty to do this as they knew he hit me without good reason based on what he felt was right ? What if he had a gun adn shot me
2) WHat else can i do. I have a copy of police report, xrays , medical information, bills
ER report , police pictures of my injuries
