Yes. I am actually working on a similar case right now where a bouncer used excessive force in removing my client from the club. The injuries required surgery. In your case, however, if the injury is just a contusion, it would not make sense to pursue a lawsuit because of the costs involved. If you injury is more severe, such as scarring, please feel free to contact me.

Yes you probably do have a claim but it depends on the facts. Your claim is for negligent hiring against the bar or club. However, your actions will be weighed and will likely make or break your cause of action. My website has useful information regarding these types of case.
