Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents

These are very common accidents that we see all the time at a hotel and casino.

There are so many ways that a slip and fall accident can happen in a casino or hotel.

They can happen anywhere on the property.

· Wet Floor – The casino floor area is over 163,000 sq ft. This is a lot of room to take a fall. There are times when the customer gets up from a table and trips. This may be their own fault. There are also times where a drink may have been spilled. No one has come over to mop it up. There is no signage to warn of the wet floor. A slip can occur to an unsuspecting guest. This can cause serious injury. Employees must always be monitoring the casino floor. Debris on the ground must be picked up. If the floor is freshly mopped proper signage must be displayed. Bathrooms, restaurants, hotel rooms can all have leaks or spills that can cause a slip and fall. Management has an obligation to keep the floors safe.

· Carpet, Mats, Flooring – If the carpet or mat is damaged a trip and fall can happen. Often the area where the carpet meets the tile flooring can cause a trip. Guests need to be on the look out for cracked tiles and warped flooring. All this can lead to a serious injury. If the property knows of these issues, they must fix them.

· Lighting Issues – Lighting is important all throughout the property. If there are lights out, they must be replaced. This is incredibly dangerous where there are stairs. Sunset Station with its bowling alleys and movie theater needs to make sure guests can see the steps and exits. Parking lots are always dangerous if the lights are not adequate. Stepping in a pothole or tripping down the stairs in a parking garage can be devastating.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Sunset Station has a beautiful pool area.

Parties by the pool in this desert oasis are an amazing experience.

It can also be dangerous. The sun and heat can cause dehydration.

Tourists new to the desert may unaware of this.

You may think you know what heat is but this is different.

Especially in the months of June, July, August, and even September.

Mixing alcohol into this environment can be risky as well.

Spending too much time in the hot tub can cause drowsiness.

Drowning is a possibility anytime you get around water.

Lifeguards and security must be ready to help the guests at all time.

This is no time for them to be distracted.

There must also be a certain number of lifeguards watching the pool area.

Lifeguards need to be properly trained and certified.

Knowing what to do if there is an incident.

Elevator Accidents

With 21 floors elevators are the major source of transporting the guests.

There are around 440 rooms on the property. This means guests are constantly riding up and down.

Elevators can break. Stopping abruptly can cause injury.

If there is a mechanical failure guests may have to wait for help. If this is a crowded elevator this can be horrifying.

Getting stuck in a small space can cause serious stress.

The stress can then trigger high blood pressure and mental trauma.

Injuries can be serious in elevator accidents.

If the property has failed to keep up on inspections, they can have liability.

A defective part or improper maintenance happens sometimes.

There are many reasons why an injury on an elevator can happen.

Our attorneys will look at all the factors and details surrounding the elevator injury.

If it can be proven that negligence caused the accident we can then proceed legally.

Assault and Battery

Getting assaulted on a casino property does happen.

You hear about it more and more these days. It is impossible for casinos to stop every assault.

You can’t read a persons mind or predict every situation.

The casino property does have a responsibility to reasonably keep their property safe for guests.

Any business that invites people on to their property has this obligation.

It is often referred to as ‘duty of care.’

Properties like the Sunset Station must provide acceptable security.

They should not allow belligerent patrons to wander the property harassing their guests.
