Negligent Security in Illinois Bars

Generally speaking, if a premises has a history of criminal activity, the owner bears a greater responsibility in preventing further assaults, robberies and other crimes. All bar owners must take certain steps to ensure the safety of patrons, whether the bar is in a high-crime area or not.

Examples of bar owner negligence include:

Security staff and bouncers failing to prevent or intervene in a bar fight
Inadequate lighting in parking lots, vestibules and other areas adjacent to the bar
Serving patrons too much alcohol, which can lead to an intoxicated patron causing an injury by assault or drunk driving (dram shop liability)
Failure to maintain locks and security systems
Blocking emergency exits
Failure to warn patrons of known dangers

Bar owners are responsible for more than security. Like other property owners, they must maintain the premises to minimize the risk of slip-and-fall accidents and other types of accidents. Our lawyers are well-versed in Illinois premises liability law and can help you pursue compensation for the losses you have suffered due to negligent security and other forms of negligence by property owners.
