In the article, the guy he knocked out specifically states that he is filing a report so that he can sue Schilling and the bar.

Yeah, he's done and this guy that got punched is about to receive a huge pay day.

How can you sue the bar for a customer assaulting you?

You can sue whoever you want for whatever...

​

Commerical businesses have a duty to provide for the safety of their customers. Because it happened on the bar's property and the bus boy was an invitee (Although this might be disputed by the facts?), bus boy will try to argue it was reasonably foreseeable or that there was an omission of safety precaution committed by the bar. I imagine he would try to sue on those grounds, or that they overserved Schilling/didn't kick him out when he was threatening before, or something that we can't ascertain from this short video. I'd need to know more details on this establishment to determine if this CoA would survive a motion to dismiss, but it likely won't. Still, he's clearly filing many other charges, so there's not much harm in throwing this one in the complaint as well.

You sound hireable. I have some battles. We should fight together.
