Accidents Happen at The Orleans
From the time you get into town an injury can happen when you least expect it.
Here are some of the more common ways that an injury accident can occur at The Orleans.
Airport Shuttle – Many guests of The Orleans get shuttled to the property every day. A shuttle injury can happen by a reckless driver that is at fault. If you or a loved one is hurt on a shuttle it can not only ruin your entire vacation but can be devastating to a family.
There are a lot of ways that an accident can happen on a shuttle. Some of these include; driver error, improper maintenance of the vehicle, and DUI. Driving a shuttle is different than a regular car and drivers need to be properly trained. Most of the time the shuttle driver gets you from point A to point B safely but accidents do occur. Of course you can get hurt in a limo accident or while riding as a passenger in Uber or Lyft.
Broken Furniture Injury – The problem that happens with large properties with a lot of furniture is that they get a lot of use. Serious injury can occur if a guest sits in a chair and all of sudden it breaks. Barstools and booths can be dangerous when they break and a person goes to the floor. There are many reasons that this can happen.
Broken furniture must be replaced or removed in a reasonable amount of time in order to provide a safe environment. If broken furniture is on the floor or in rooms and an injury occurs the property can be held liable. No one should ever be injured by faulty, broken furniture. Furniture that has a defect can also be dangerous.
Slip and Falls – This is the most common of accidents. The Orleans has bowling alleys, movie theaters, swimming pools, poker rooms, hotel rooms, sports book, restaurants and lounges, where a slip and fall is not uncommon. Drinks and distractions can be hazardous. Not all the time will a slip and fall be the fault of the property, but there are instances where they are.
Elevators and escalator malfunctions can make a person lose their balance and fall to the floor. It is important that there is constant clean up going on at The Orleans and signage posted if there is construction or hazards on the property. If there is a slip and fall with injury at the Orleans Hotel give us a call. If we can determine that the injury was due to the fault of another than we will work hard at building a case that we can win and get you the compensation that you deserve.
Security Issues – Security is extremely important to have at a large hotel and casino property like The Orleans. Special events in the arena or convention space can bring in tens of thousands of visitors at a time. The concerts and sporting events will need extra security during these times in order to make sure that everyone gets in and out safely. Lack of security can make for a dangerous environment.
Gaming customers winning money at the tables or machines need to be provided safety. Unsavory characters may be lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of an unsuspecting guest. Parking lots and parking garages must be properly lit and security must be monitoring the property at all times. Security guards must also be properly trained in order to react to any threats that might happen.
Injuries At The Orleans Casino
There are injuries that our attorneys see regularly and some can be more serious than others.
Neck and Back Injuries – When there is a back injury it can be very painful and hard to heal. Treatments for a spine, neck and back can go on for a long time. Some of the injuries to the back can include herniated discs and broken vertebrates. Even an injured muscle, tendon, or ligament in the back area can be brutal.
Back injuries may need surgery and chronic pain may also result from an injury. Work may be impossible to return to if the injury is serious. A slip and fall can lead to this type of injury. Falling back in a broken chair can cause a person to hit their head and do damage to their neck and back as well.
Head Injury – Anytime there is a slip and fall the head can hit the hard floor or another hard object and leave a person seriously injured. Cuts and bleeding may result in some cases but Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI) can do some long-term damage. TBI can result when the head is hit hard or jolted back violently.
If the TBI is mild the brain can heal up and the person can get back to normal over time. If the hit to the head is severe than the brain may have permanent damage. In worst case scenarios the head injury can be fatal.
Broken Bones – Bone breaks will definitely hurt. Breaking a leg, arm, or any other bone will most likely keep a person out of work. Breaking a bone at the casino can happen on the escalator, bathroom, hotel room etc.
A slip and fall once again may be the reason for the broken bone. A slippery floor in the restaurant or on the gaming floor can be dangerous. Hotels and casino properties like The Orleans have an obligation to keep the floor cleared and post signage if there is something hazardous.
