Is this Civil Suit Worthy?

So a good friend of mine was at a bar down in Columbus last night and was standing on some steps when one of the bar employees punched him in the back of the head. Said he'd never even talked to the guy that he knew of so it sounds random or a case of mistaken identity or something. From what he was telling me he hadn't even been there long and only had 2 beers so he was still sober. Anyway He was knocked off the steps and broke at least two teeth as well as his hand when he hit the ground.

He went down to the Columbus police today to press charges and they basically told him he was out of luck because he basically didn't see the guy actually hit him and doesn't have a phone number or anyway for them to contact the guy even though he's a bar employee. So now he's planning to file a suit on the bar since they didn't even try to do anything about it and it was an employee.

So if all this information is right does it sound case worthy to you guys?
 


Well if I understood him right the guy was working and the bar tried to drag him outside or something to cover it up, but I may have mishear him. He had 3 friends with him as well that I'm pretty sure witnessed it.

I know that's what i thought. But probably better they didn't retaliate because he's already been in trouble for fighting in a bar before.

thats not good though bc the judge is going to take his history in account. if all witnesses stories match and you have a good lawyer you should be good

thats the biggest one right there. Witnesses = lawsuit. If he was on the clock sue the company as well. who knows you may be there next owner

wasnt me. Pretty sure all hes looking for is medical expenses to be covered where he has to have his teeth fixed and a broken hand. and work compensation since he cant work now with a broken hand.

that shouldnt be a problem but if he was on the clock though id go after the owner of the bar as well. He really needs to talk to a lawyer to see his options. and tell him if it ever happens again to call the police right away so they can come down and take a report
 
Talked to him some more and he said he was by the stage and people were coming through the door so he moved onto the steps at the edge of the stage. So he wasn't sure if the guy thought he was trying to get on stage or something or thought he was someone else.

Said he hit the ground and came to pretty quick as the guy that hit him was running off stage and another was being called out by the dj. Also found out his name was AJ.
