Ep. 030 Hospitality & Liability from the Lens of an Expert Witness
Friday, 16 January, 2026
In this episode of the Nightlife Security Podcast, host Manny Marquez and Dr. Richard Bistline examine hospitality liability through the lens of an expert witness. They break down how incidents evolve into claims, what attorneys look for, and how operational decisions, documentation, training, and policies are scrutinized after the fact. The conversation highlights common failures seen in litigation, the importance of reasonable standards of care, and practical steps operators can take today to reduce exposure, strengthen defensibility, and better protect their venues, staff, and guests.
