Our firm resolved a casino injury claim on behalf of a guest who was seriously hurt by a dangerous condition while visiting a casino property in Sparks, Nevada. The case underscores the duty casinos owe to protect guests from foreseeable hazards inside gaming areas.
The incident occurred on January 19, 2021, when our client was standing near a slot machine inside the casino. Without warning, a large plexiglass panel suddenly detached and fell, striking her and causing immediate injuries. Casino staff confirmed that the accident occurred on the property and resulted from a preventable condition. Liability was not disputed.
Emergency services transported our client to Northern Nevada Medical Center, where she underwent an extended hospital stay. She later required additional diagnostic testing, specialist evaluations, and ongoing treatment for spine-related injuries and chronic pain. Her medical expenses exceeded $23,000, and she experienced significant pain, physical limitations, and loss of enjoyment of daily activities.
Despite clear responsibility, the defense attempted to minimize the extent of the injuries and the impact on our client’s life. Our firm built a comprehensive case supported by medical records, diagnostic findings, and treatment history directly linking the injuries to the falling panel. We demonstrated how the casino’s failure to maintain a safe environment placed guests at risk.
Through prompt action and aggressive negotiation, we secured a settlement that fairly compensated our client for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the disruption to her quality of life.
This case highlights the importance of holding casinos accountable for unsafe conditions and shows how experienced Nevada premises liability attorneys can protect injured guests and pursue meaningful financial recovery.
