I went through this same situation right after college in 1992. Standing in a bar and got sucker punched, well got hit from behind with a bar glass by a coked up dude who thought I was someone else. 350 stitches and 2 days in the hospital later, i drove home. Guy was caught. He was out on bail from another attack when he hit someone over the head with a glass pitcher. No attorney wanted to touch it. Not enough money from the defendant and the bar wasn't liable because there were bouncers and security, they just didn't get this guy before he hit me. They only have to provide reasonable security as this was not a bar where this sort of thing happens. Guy was convicted of agg assault and I was compensated by his paying restitution. Took him 10 yrs to pay me off.
That being said we have a lot more weasel attorneys that will take this type of case, but if the police aren't pushing for ag assault, i don't think this would go very far.
