On April 27, 2014, Client  went to the Julep Bar in Boston with friends to celebrate a birthday. At last call, bar staff proceeded to herd patrons out of the establishment. Client and his friend were in the process of paying the party’s bill when a bouncer demanded that they leave. Client and friend explained that they were trying to pay the bar tab and would leave once it was paid. An argument ensued and the bouncer punched client in the face sending him to the ground causing him to lose consciousness. Client went to the emergency room. He was diagnosed with swelling and abrasions to the face and head. He sustained a laceration to the right check. Subsequently, he would be diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. The insurance company (Hudson) hired an independent agency to investigate the claim. The insurance company contested liability claiming that the client was intoxicated and the aggressor. Attorney Patrick J. Noonan interviewed and obtained statements from four independent witnesses.

Case Results: The insurance company then conceded liability and settled the case.
