QUESTION: If I was assaulted and injured by another customer while in a bar, can I sue the establishment? Do I have the right to be protected by them from the attack? ANSWER: If a person suffers because of an establishment’s failure to act affirmatively to protect the customer, the injured party may be able to recover compensation for damages [CC § 3281].One of the essential elements of a negligence cause of action is breach of a legal duty to act reasonably under the circumstances.
