Can I sue the night club that let my minor daughter in if she was injured? My 19 year old daughter was let into a 21 and up nightclub and served. She was also hurt at the bar and required 7 staples in her foot after someones drinking glass broke and she stepped on it.

A:

You can sue them but the issues involved with a minor being in a nightclub have less to do with this claim than does how long the glass was on the floor and did your daughter know it or should she have known it was there. If she was drinking that will complicate her testimony and interfere with her credibility on the issue of whether she did or should have observed to glass in a way to protect herself. You are probably better off just filing a complaint with whatever agency issued the liquor license along with the police who should be making sure under aged drinkers aren't in the bar.
