I think you first must try to resolve the matter directly with the restaurant before you can pursue suing them.  Most businesses would be responsive and would pay your medical bills, maybe a little more.  But in order to sue, your injury must have been significant, or no lawyer would take the case on a contingency basis (for about 1/3 of your award.)  If you sued via paying the lawyer an hourly rate, you would be chancing losing that amount of money.

anytime you take something that isn't yours or take something that you didn't pay for well then thats stealing no matter what the unusual circumstances are.  just because someone else broke the glass and started the robbery, you are still a accomplice cause you jumped in and took part.  it's called an accessory .....charged with possession of stolen property or maybe recieving stolen property.  any way you look at it...it would be smarter for you not to get involved with things of this nature.  try making better choices,  your future depends on it.  GOOD LUCK!

I wish that I were with you! I would have straightened the mess out immediately!\n\nYou are not liable for an accident like this. Yes, you did ask for a booth. Flimsy chairs are not your problem, it is the owner's. He/she should consider himself lucky that you did not call police to report the accident. His/Her insurance would have to cover your costs if any, then hefty deductible would be a deciding factor in buying new chairs and offering "complimentary" dinners to customers that have accidents in the restaurant.\n\nDon't you dare pay them a dime! God bless you for wanting to pay for damages. You have a sweet heart, but they have a rotten attitude.

Between the time the bartender told you to leave, and when the cops arrived you must of had an opportunity to go out the door. That action would have shown you intended to comply with the bartenders order, you wouldn't have been ID'd, and no complications. Usually bartenders are legal agents for the owners and have the authority to remove patrons without giving a reason for doing so. It may be a place that is open to the public, but not public property. \nFind another place that is more relaxed.\n\nThe usual conversation:\nCop:(to you) Did this bartender tell you to leave?\nYou: Yes.\nCop: Then why are you here?

The restaurant.  They want to make sure you can pay up.

Hopefully, this is a better answer. Always find the deep pockets. You can sue the motorist for not having enough coverage. (for the balance) Chances are, you will pay hell trying to collect. You can sue the insurance company for not mandating proper coverage. If the driver was drinking, you can sue the institution(s) for serving him/her. If the vehicle of the other motorist was faulty, you can sue the last person that did maintenance, or the dealer and the manufacturer (if the car was still under warranty) Maybe the motorist did not have proper coverage if he or she was still paying on the vehicle, then, you have the bank for not following up, the insurance company, and the motorist.\nRemember, find the big pockets.

It all depends on the situation. \nIf it's strictly that the food was bad, it's the kitchen's fault so I still tip but may mention the bad food to the server.\nIf it's that I can tell they are having a rough night and are just overly busy, I still tip.\nIf they are rude, ignore me, or some other purposely unfriendly behavior, I lower their tip dramatically ONLY because most restaurants and bars "tip-out" at the end of the night. Meaning, they have to split their tips with other staff like bar backs, kitchen, and managers. I don't really feel like those people should be completely punished for that servers behavior so I still give a tip, it's just between 10-15%. If it's truly bad, I may even speak to a manager. \nI feel like leaving pennies to insult them will just make them take it out on the next patron.

Don't deduct food and drinks consumed while working.  That's a big red flag.  Only if you are entertaining for business purposes (wooing clients, for example) can you deduct food, and then it's strictly limited.

Alright, you will need to go to the bank and talk to someone and let them know what happened and then ask them if they would please deny the charge to the lounge. Go to the lounge speak to a manager and tell them what happened because they assumed something.And tell them that they are legally responsible for all the charges from the bank and from anyone who recieved and NSF. Pay them cash for the drink that you bought . If you have a decent bank they should work with you on this. I had a very similar thing happen to me as well. It is a pain in the behind but if you want it fixed you have to do it.

I would assume that falls under the "assumption of risk"- just like you can't sue someone if you get hit by a baseball at a baseball game.  You would have to prove they attempted to injure you intentionally, or that you did not know that people threw beads from floats at mardi gras.  They would both be incredibly hard to prove.

I waited tables for 7 years, and yes. But if only the customer was very rude. I licked a lot of soup spoons, and poured a lot of visine into drinks. Don't ever be rude to your waiter. I saw a lot worse, but I could not be that crude.

You could sue for negligence, but you wouldn't get much in the way of compensation unless you sould show you had suffered loss (usually financial loss) as a result.

I have read your previous question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ao1grVAAeLJuM8JSTcwQYjjsy6IX?qid=20060605193038AA1TtGf\n\nYou are an idiot.  They are doing everything they need to do for you.  The court system is in place for real problems, not for people like you that think you are entitled to everything for no good reason.  Get over it.  They are paying your medical bills and have apologized to you.  You do not deserve any additional money...the bite did not even break the skin!  Because of people like you our court system...and our emergency rooms...are tied up for stupid reasons.  There was no reason for you to go to the ER.  \n\nIf it was possible I would sue you for $5,000 for putting up with your stupidity.  Unfortunately, I'm not a "single mom", so I don't think I would have a case.

That's very broad, and the laws really vary from state to state.  But generally speaking, at least in many areas, the owner of a bar is liable of they "knowingly" serve alcohol to someone who is "obviously/visibly intoxicated" and that person proceeds to injure someone.  The difficulty is proving the bartender should have known this guy was so intoxicated; it hinges a lot upon eye witnesses and other factors such as BAL.  Many plaintiff attorneys will argue that if the BAL was X%, then he must have been obviously intoxicated.  Expert testimony is also often a huge part of a trial.  Ex: If this person was plasterd, wobblin around and they served him another drink and then this person subsequently left the bar and on his way home swerved and killed someone, the estate or family of the deceased could sue the bar, if they could prove the above facts.\n\nThat's the general shtick.  I could go into much more, but hope this get's what you're looking for.
