If you have been threatened or physically attacked by a bouncer or doorman whilst on a night out, you could be entitled to claim for compensation. Nobody likes to be asked or told to leave an establishment, especially if they have paid a cover charge to get in.

Know Your Rights

A bouncer has no more right to physically assault you than anyone else does!

Research estimates there are 170,000 door supervisors in England and Wales. ALL doormen have to be licensed and will break the law unless they are wearing a badge to show they have been trained and vetted.

• Bouncers are not police officers. They do not have powers that police officers have.
• The power of arrest for bouncers is no more than the power that every citizen has to hold someone until police arrive.
• Bouncers can only use ‘reasonable force’ to do their job, such as to control the situation. This does not mean they can assault you
• Bouncers must wear number identification tags on the job
• Bouncers can refuse entry to any person based on ‘house rules’ but they cannot discriminate against you because of your race, disability, sexual preference or gender.

What To Do If You Are Assaulted

• If you’ve been physically assaulted or verbally abused by a bouncer, get the bouncers identification number and their name.
• Get the names and contact details of any independent witnesses. Try to do this immediately because people can disperse quickly following an incident.
• Go to the nearest hospital with an Emergency Department to get your injuries assessed, ensure you get any medical treatment you need, and to have your injuries recorded by a professional for evidence. Get photos taken if injuries are visible.
• Contact a friend to provide support during the process: help you get the information you need, take you to the hospital and assist you to make notes before you forget.
• Contact the police to report the assault.
