Texas

I was at a bar and me and this other person got in a verbal argument, we ended the argument by him saying, " let's just drop it." He walked away and a couple of seconds later he punched me from the side with no warning, as i stepped back from the hit he then threw a bottle to my face, it shattered cut my face and got 2 orbital fractures.Right after that, the bouncers got him and just walked him out and let him go they didn't contact the police, and i was too hurt to do anything, a friend that i was with then called my brother and took me to the hospital. I need two major surgeries and cannot work, can i sue the club for letting the person go? Because i wanted to press charges because now i have to pay for all the medical bills, and the security there just let the person go. thank you

No, you cannot sue the club.

Well, you can - but you won't win.

Did you ever make a police report?

The police could have found out who the guy was. And filed charges. And you might have even been able to make use of a victim's compensation fund, and had restitution added to his sentence. If it hasn't been too long, you can still call the police.

I agree, this is probably the best way to go. You don't want to get yourself involved in more trouble.
