Injured at a Vegas Dayclub
Over the last decade thanks to “ Rehab “ at the old Hard Rock Hotel, the dayclub has become a popular event in Vegas.
Most of the larger hotel casinos offer a dayclub experience for just about everyone.
From Wet Republic to TAO Beach and The Beach Club at Encore, the dayclub has become a scene in Vegas just like the nightlife.
The dayclub offers cocktails and music with a DJ and musical guests.
Not only do you get the atmosphere of being at a club but you get sun and in most cases a pool to enjoy.
These places offer the same experience as visiting a nightclub including bottle service, and some even have swim up gambling.
It will cost you though, just like getting a private table at Drai’s will cost you a pretty penny so will just getting to sit in at the day club.
Word of advice: get there early to get one of only a few free chairs available.
You have a better shot if you are staying in the hotel of the club you plan on attending.
When Rehab at the Hardrock was open guests were able to enter before the general public.
The dayclub was so popular at The Hardrock they even had a short lived reality television show about it.
Sadly as we know The Hardrock has closed and we have moved on to a new and different time in Vegas.
The Marquee at the Cosmopolitan is a popular spot, but make sure you don’t sit in certain spots where the sun bounces off the building and causes the sunburn of a lifetime.
Tourists Love The Dayclub
Just like nightclubs, dayclubs have the same issues but a few more that nightclubs don’t have like the fact that pools and swimming have now been mixed with alcohol.
People travel from all over the world to visit Vegas and attend a dayclub party.
It’s so hot in Vegas in the summer that some dayclubs allow locals to attend even if they aren’t guests of the hotel.
And if you’re a local you know that being in any water when it’s 100 degrees outside is a good thing.
Whether you’re a local trying to get away from the heat, or a visitor checking out the exciting atmosphere of a dayclub, being injured is not on your radar when you head to the dayclub.
If you have been injured while visiting one of these popular spots you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

Why Hire a Dayclub Injury Lawyer?
When you are injured at a dayclub or pool bar in Vegas you need to at least speak with an attorney to understand what you’re up against just to get your medical bills paid for.
Hotels and casinos have a team of staff including lawyers, insurance adjusters, and others who all have a job in combating your injury claim.
Their insurance companies have lots of experience in minimizing claims and payouts.
By filing a claim after being injured you are essentially holding the hotel casino (or other owners of the day club) responsible for your injuries.
Hotel casinos don’t take this lightly for many reasons and will do almost anything to deny or minimize your claim.
No attorney would advise you to try and go up against these corporate giants alone.
A legal expert like Richard Harris can help you negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company that represents the dayclub and prevent them from taking advantage of you.
Hiring an attorney can also allow someone else to handle the claim while you’re trying to recover from your injuries.

Our team has gone up against these hotel giants and won many times.

Is the Dayclub Responsible for Your Injuries?
Any dayclub or business in Nevada has a duty to its guests to provide the services they offer in a safe and responsible manner.
If the dayclub fails in any way to provide this duty of care then they can be held liable in a variety of ways for any injuries you sustained while attending a day club.
Some ways that a hotel casino with a dayclub like The Flamingo can be held liable are:
Not cleaning up wet and slippery decks around the pool and bar areas. This leads to the most common injuries that happen at dayclubs, the slip and fall accident.
To many people at the club. All of the Las Vegas day and nightclubs have very strict policies on how many people are allowed at one time in the club. When these clubs allow excess people into the club forcing the club to be overcrowded guests tend to get shoved around and may fall and get injured.
Pool safety ignored. Lack of lifeguards on duty, pool not cleaned properly, proper signage about depth of water are all causes of guests getting injured in the pool. Drownings have even occurred when lots of people are present.
Assault by other patrons and even staff. Let’s face the sun and alcohol don’t mix leading to a charged atmosphere where people may get into fights with other patrons. If you were an unruly patron the staff might have gotten a little overzealous and laid hands on you while trying to get you out of the club. Leading to injuries from cuts and bruises and in a very few cases there have even been deaths associated with dayclub assaults.
Serving bad food or drinks. Food and drink have strict ways they need to be prepared to be served properly to avoid food poisoning. When food and drinks are in the sun food temperature and prep may be ignored leading to food poisoning or their food borne illness. Food illness is the second most common injury at a dayclub experience.
If you believe that any of these issues were present when your injuries occurred you should speak with a lawyer immediately.
What if You’re Partially to Blame?
It is highly probable that you may have had some drinks while attending the dayclub and may have gotten a little tipsy while drinking the fruity drinks in the sun.
So you might think that you have no case since you were drinking.
Well that is not the case.
Nevada has something called modified comparative negligence.
This allows victims of negligence to recover damages as long as their fault is less than those of the defendant.
For example if it is found that you had a 30% fault in your injury and the dayclub had a 70% fault, you can still recover damages because they are considered more at fault than you.
However your award will be reduced by the percentage you are considered at fault.
If your attorney negotiates a $100,000 settlement for your injuries your award would be $70,000, since 30% of $100,000 is $30,000.
This may sound confusing but your lawyer will explain the details during your free consultation.
Is There a Time Limit to File an Injury Claim?
Yes in Nevada there is a two year time limit to file a personal injury claim.
Failing to file within the two year time frame can lead to your not being able to recover any damages for your claim.
There are a few exceptions but they are very few.
That’s why reaching out to a personal injury lawyer like Richard Harris as soon as possible is important.
Going to a free consultation can get the ball rolling on your claim.
Your legal team will assure your claim against all parties involved is filed before the statute of limitations comes up.
Don’t take the chance of losing your ability to get the compensation you deserve.
Dayclubs can be fun and exciting ways to spend some time in the sun in Vegas, but they can also be dangerous and people get hurt from time to time.
Make sure you have a team to protect your rights if you have been injured while visiting the new Las Vegas dayclub hotspots.
