Local Woman Sues Tampa Nightlife Spot After Brutal Attack and Negligence

TAMPA, FL [January 14, 2025] – Represented by Attorney Gil Sanchez, Isabel Sabina has filed a lawsuit against Toast Tampa, LLC, doing business as Hotel Bar, alleging negligence and a brutal attack that left her with serious injuries and losses. The incident occurred on November 14th, 2023, at Hotel Bar, a nightclub in Tampa.

According to the complaint filed in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Hillsborough County, Ms. Sabina was violently assaulted by a patron while exiting the women’s restroom. A bouncer then forcefully removed her from the premises, causing her to fall and injure herself on the sidewalk. The ordeal didn’t end there; another bouncer then used pepper spray on her, and another patron proceeded to physically assault her. As a result of the attacks and subsequent fall, Ms. Sabina suffered significant injuries, including physical pain and emotional distress. She also experienced material losses, including damage to her iPhone.

The complaint alleges that Hotel Bar failed to provide a safe environment for its patrons, violating its duty of care and causing Ms. Sabina’s injuries and losses. Specifically, the complaint highlights the bar’s failure to prevent the initial assault, the excessive force used by security personnel, and their failure to protect Ms. Sabina from further harm while she was vulnerable.

Ms. Sabina is seeking compensatory damages to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related losses. She is represented by senior civil litigation attorney Gil Sanchez, CEO of Black Rock Trial Lawyers.
