The Liability of "Ejection Handoffs" & Communication Failures

In multi-venue districts, an ejection is not the end of liability—it is often the beginning. Venues frequently “dump” aggressive patrons into the street without alerting neighboring establishments, creating a foreseeable zone of danger. We analyze whether the venue followed the “Duty to Warn” standard, maintaining safe custody of the patron until they left the district, or simply exported their violence to the sidewalk.

How We Analyze Security Failures

We audit the decision-making process from the door to the ejection.

Staffing & Post Order Audit

Comparing the number of guards on duty against the venue's occupancy and their own internal "Post Orders" for patrol frequency.

Communication Review

Examining radio logs and "GroupMe" threads to determine if the venue failed to warn neighbors of an ejected threat.

Ejection Reconstruction

Tracing the path of the ejected patron via CCTV to see if they were escorted
to safety or simply pushed into a crowd.

Foreseeability Analysis

Reviewing 911 call logs and prior incident reports to prove the venue knew (or should have known) the risk was imminent.

Marketing & Overservice Liability

Aggressive promotions and high-volume specials often contribute to foreseeable intoxication. We evaluate the risk implications of events such as:

Each review determines whether marketing or service decisions created conditions for predictable harm or policy violations.

POS Timestamp Analysis

Detailed review of point-of-sale timestamps to identify accelerated service patterns tied to fixed-price promotions, open bar access, and wristband programs. Analysis focuses on drink frequency, service pacing, and whether controls were effectively removed, encouraging excessive consumption beyond observable impairment thresholds.

Multi-Venue CCTV Synchronization

Time-aligned review of surveillance footage across multiple establishments to reconstruct guest movement, service intervals, and consumption escalation. This process identifies whether time-based promotions or pricing deadlines created service surges that compromised ID verification, monitoring, or responsible alcohol service practices.

Incident Logbook Review

Examination of incident reports, staff notes, and internal communications related to promotional events targeting specific demographics. Analysis determines whether documented warnings, disturbances, or prior incidents were ignored in favor of crowd density, revenue goals, or promotional performance, resulting in compromised safety oversight.
