Jacksonville man wins $18 million in lawsuit against Pete's Bar

A man seriously injured during a fight at Pete's Bar in Neptune Beach has been awarded more than $18 million.

The newly released document filed in the Duval County Circuit Court details Joshua Mathews' settlement.

It said that Mathews was at the bar in 2012 when a fight broke out.

He was reportedly punched in the face, and his attorney said Mathews' head hit the ground, which left him with a brain injury.

The document reported that the bar failed to provide adequate security guards. The document also said that the bar failed to train and supervise bouncers.

Action News Jax contacted Pete's for comment and will let you know when we hear back.
