Yes, if the bar failed to provide adequate security to protect its patrons, you likely have a strong premises liability case based on negligent security. This remains true even if the bar has since closed. Most bars carry commercial liability insurance, which can still provide coverage even after the business ceases operations.       

Generally the companies that rent the sumo suits requires supervision. They might find out who the rental company was to see what instructions were given to the church or whoever rented it. If the instructions were not followed, that may help on a claim for liability.n Also, the church and/or the promoters of the event may have obtained a certificate of insurance in order to hold the event. In that event, the carrier should be contacted and a claim made. The church may also have a general liability policy, in which case there is a good chance there is a med-pay provision which allows the carrier to pay medical bills up to the limits of that provision (usually $5000 or $10,000). In any event, the parents should hire a personal injury attorney who can assist in all areas of this claim.
