Legal Question in Personal Injury in Minnesota

Re: What are my rights?

You have the right to bring a claim against the bartender and bouncers for assault to recover for you medical expenses and pain and suffering. However, it is often difficult to get a recovery in these situations. When a person does something intentionally, like assaulting another person, any insurance coverage they may have is usually lost because most policies exclude intentional acts. This means you can sue the bartender but even if you get a judgment against him you will often have a tough time actually getting the money. You can garnish his wages but the amount you will receive is limited. Often your best bet is to have criminal charges brought for the assault and get the court to order restitution for your injuries.

While we are unable to accept your case or provide you with legal advice at this time, we would be happy to help you in the future on other matters.

You should be aware that there may be a statute of limitations or time within which you must resolve this matter. If you fail to commence an action within the time frame established by law, your claim may be forever barred.
