Alyssa had just stepped off the dance floor when she slipped on a spilled cocktail that had been sitting unattended for nearly an hour. Despite multiple staff walking past it, no one cleaned it up or put out a warning sign. Her fall left her with a shattered hip, a dislocated shoulder, and a long road of recovery ahead. The bar's insurance company offered $75,000, claiming she had "been drinking and should have been more careful." Kyle and his team got surveillance footage, interviewed other patrons, and proved the bar’s negligence. The case settled for $650,000—enough to cover Alyssa’s medical bills, physical therapy, and time off work.. show less

Bar & Nightclub Accidents Can Leave You With Lasting Injuries
From dim lighting and slippery floors to reckless security or dangerous crowds, bars and nightclubs can be hazardous places. What starts as a fun night out can end in serious injury—and without legal help, you could be stuck paying the price.
Typical injuries we see from bar and nightclub accidents:
- Broken bones from falls
- Head trauma or brain injuries
- Cuts, lacerations, or facial injuries
- Spinal or neck damage
- Injuries from assaults due to negligent security
If you were hurt in a bar, club, or lounge—don’t assume it was your fault. The property owner might be liable for poor maintenance, unsafe conditions, or lack of proper security.
When you’re searching for a bar and nightclub injury lawyer in the greater Houston area, you want someone who understands the risks and fights hard to get real results.
Don’t let them shift the blame. Let us investigate and hold the right parties accountable.
A bar and nightclub injury can be more serious than you think—from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries, the consequences can last for years.
The Real Cost of a Bar or Nightclub Injury
It’s not just the medical bills. You may lose income, need ongoing care, or face emotional trauma from the incident.
Here’s what we help people recover:
- Medical expenses – ER visits, surgeries, follow-up care
- Lost wages – including future lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional trauma
- Permanent scarring or disability
You don’t have to deal with this alone. And you shouldn’t.
Who’s Liable for Your Injury at a Bar or Nightclub?
In these cases, multiple parties can be responsible. When you hire a Herebert Trial Law nightclub injury attorney you’ll have a team that understands every angle of premises liability and will thoroughly investigate to determine who failed to protect you:
How Insurance Companies Try to Downplay Your Claim
Insurance companies are quick to shift blame onto you. Why? Because it protects their bottom line. That’s why working with an experienced bar injury lawyer is key to making sure your story is heard—and believed.
When injuries happen in bars or nightclubs, they’ll often claim you were intoxicated, clumsy, or exaggerating—even when staff negligence clearly played a role.
Don’t be surprised if you hear:
- “There’s no security footage available.”
- “We have no record of the spill or hazard.”
- “You were drinking—so it’s your fault.”
- “The area was properly maintained.”
- “You waited too long to report this.”

“I never thought the bar would be held responsible. Kyle and his team made sure they were—and helped me get the compensation I needed to heal.”
— Darren R., Houston, TX
nightclub negligence client
Darren was shoved down a flight of stairs by an intoxicated customer who had been over-served and ignored by staff all night. The club had no trained security and no policy for cutting off drunk patrons. Darren suffered a fractured spine and weeks of hospitalization. The bar’s insurance company blamed the other customer, offering a measly $50,000. Our team didn’t just prove the bar’s responsibility—we filed a bar injury compensation claim and made sure Darren received every dollar he was owed. Kyle’s team proved the establishment was negligent—and secured a $425,000 settlement to cover Darren’s recovery, missed work, and ongoing care.
