King of Bolero Sues US Businessman Over Party Injury

Singer Dam Vinh Hung, known as Vietnam’s “king of bolero” recently filed a personal injury lawsuit against a California businessman alleging negligence resulted in the singer losing several toes.

The lawsuit, surfaced by the Superior Court of California on Oct. 31, stems from an accident that occurred at the businessman’s residence. According to the lawsuit, Hung alleges that the defendant used an outdoor concrete fountain as both a stage and a bar during a party held on Feb. 19 at his Newport Court estate. The fountain allegedly broke during the party, hitting the singer and causing Hung serious injuries.

Hung alleges that the defendant did not carry out the inspection and maintenance of construction items as required. This indirectly led to the fountain breaking and causing Hung’s injuries. The singer contends that the injury forced him to modify his schedule and cancel numerous performances resulting in substantial monetary loss. Hung is seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering damages.

Property owner liability and serious injury 

As a social host organizing an event, you are responsible for the safety of your guests. In other words, you owe them a duty of care. The plaintiff alleges this duty of care was breached because the defendant didn’t inspect the fountain before using it as a stage. The fountain broke or collapsed causing the defendant to become injured. The plaintiff has now filed a personal injury lawsuit against the defendant.

A property owner can be held liable under three situations. You can prove that a property owner knew about the dangerous condition and failed to remedy it leading to injury. You can prove that the property owner should have known about the dangerous condition but failed to exercise ordinary care. Lastly, you can prove the property owner created the dangerous condition.

In the case mentioned above, the property owner failed to exercise ordinary care when they used a dangerously unstable fountain as a stage. The property owner is being blamed for failing to inspect the fountain before using it. If he did, then the plaintiff’s injuries would have never occurred.

Ultimately, this is likely a strong premises liability case against the defendant. The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care to keep the premises in safe condition. The defendant failed in that duty of care. This breach resulted in the plaintiff acquiring substantial injuries and monetary damages. Party hosts, beware.
