Reasons For a Boulder Station Injury

At Richard Harris we see all types of injury accidents.

The opportunity for an accident is more than you might think.

Boulder Station began in 1993 and is owned by Station Casinos.

The property is on 27 acres.

That’s a big property with a lot of people. Over the years there have been many incidents that have led to injury on the property.

These injuries have occurred to both guests and employees.

Floors – Wet, icy, or waxed floors are a danger. A floor can get wet in a lot of ways. Broken pipes, leaking faucets, toilets, and a spilled drink are all common. Air conditioning in the summer can create condensation. When water or any liquid hits the tile floor it needs to be mopped up. If there is no maintenance to these spills a customer or employee can go down hard. Injuries sustained from wet floors can be of all types. One of the worse being Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Loose flooring, damaged carpet and mats can create an incident. Public bathrooms will have lots of activity throughout the day. Staff has an obligation to check on the floors so they are safe.

Lighting – Lack of lights is dangerous is multiple ways. Not seeing and tripping is one of them. If there is lack of lighting in the parking garage it can invite crime. Criminals tend to look for opportunities where lighting is lacking. Assaults, battery, and robberies can all happened on the Boulder Station property. Lighting needs to be properly maintained. Bulbs replaced in a reasonable amount of time. Stairwells, elevators, and hallways need to be safe. Proper lighting is important. If the property does not provide adequate lighting, they can be held liable if someone is hurt.

Elevators and Escalators – With all the moving parts an injury can happen. If there is not proper maintenance there can be an accident from a mechanical issue. Getting trapped in an elevator can be traumatizing. Panic can set in and cause respiratory issues. Being stuck in an elevator for a brief moment can cause fear. Escalators can be very dangerous if a person gets clothing or a shoelace caught in it. A broken part of an escalator step can be jagged and cut a person. There are many other extreme injuries I can think of. Always be careful getting on and off an escalator.

Swimming Pool – The Boulder Station Casino has a pool that invites guests to cool off. Temperatures in the summer months can be intense. Mix some alcohol with the heat and you got problems. Management must have safety measures in place that keep the guests safe. Lifeguards need to be trained and ready to respond in an emergency. Staff needs to be paying attention and on the look out for danger. This is not always the case. Sometimes staff in not trained properly. Sometimes they are not paying attention. Sometimes a bartender over serves a guest. A hot tub must also be monitored. Staying in the hot tub too long can be deadly.

Furniture – With hundreds of hotel rooms to maintain furniture needs constant upkeep. A faulty chair in the room or lounge can break and a person can be hurt. Barstools can cause a serious injury if a leg is bad. Constant checks on the furniture must be made to avoid injury. If there is broken furniture that has not been attended to that is a problem. Premise liability law requires a business to provide reasonable safety for their guests. If they know that there is a safety issue and do nothing, they can be held liable.

Food Poisoning – This can be a minor incident or major. It can happen from the food delivered by room service or at one of the many restaurants on property. Harmful germs can get in the food or beverages. Most times symptoms are diarrhea and vomiting. A person will usually get better and the illness mild. In more serious cases a victim can end up in the ER. Complications can make the illness last longer. If the nervous system is affected it can cause serious disease. Children and adults are both at risk. High fever and severe stomach pain can result. Any damages from being poisoned should not come out of pocket. Those responsible for the food poisoning should be held accountable.

Security – If a fight breaks out security needs to react in a timely manner. Having trained and adequate security is vital in a hotel and casino like the Boulder Station. Guests should not be in danger walking from the parking lot into the casino. There have been instances of violence and robbery in these types of 24-hour environments. The property has a responsibility to protect their guests and keep them safe. We usually take this for granted. These days we have to keep our head on a swivel. Having security is one thing. Having them trained and ready is another. Being a victim because there is not proper security is unacceptable.
