Quick Questions

What are some of the popular surrounding casinos in Vegas?

Las Vegas is famous for its casinos, with almost 140 in operation throughout the Valley. Some casinos and hotels are more popular than others. No matter how big the name, however, every casino owes the same duties of care to visitors. When your injury was caused by an unsafe condition on these properties, you can file a premises liability lawsuit. These lawsuits are routinely filed against many casinos in Las Vegas, including some of the city’s top gambling destinations.

  • Bellagio
  • The Venetian
  • Flamingo Las Vegas
  • Caesars Palace
  • Mandalay Bay
  • MGM Grand
  • New York, New York
  • Paris Las Vegas
  • The STRAT
  • Aria

Going up against a large and powerful casino in a lawsuit can be daunting. Casinos have plenty of money and resources to spend on denying liability for accidents on their premises. They often have aggressive lawyers as well. However, hiring an attorney can help you fix the imbalance of power. The legal team at Claggett & Sykes knows how to go up against major corporations, hotels, and casinos on your behalf.

What are common claims against hotels and casinos?

Hotels, casinos, restaurants, and other similar establishments have a legal obligation to take reasonable measures to prevent accidents and injuries to patrons. Common legal claims against these types of properties include:

An establishment can also be vicariously liable if one of its employees causes a patron harm. Our Las Vegas attorneys work to determine each and every party responsible for causing you or a loved one harm.

What should I do if I’m injured in Las Vegas?

Taking the right steps after an injury at a casino or hotel can make a big impact on your potential legal claim, so it’s important to act carefully. The aftermath of an injury can be a confusing time. Try to stay calm and assess your injuries from the scene. Call paramedics to respond to the accident, if necessary. Then, document your accident starting with notifying security at the casino, the hotel manager, or whoever is in charge. Collect as much information as you can while still at the scene, including photographs of your injuries and the unsafe hazard that caused your accident. Knowing what caused your injury is one of the most important parts of a successful premises liability lawsuit.

If anyone saw how your injury occurred, get their names and phone numbers to act as witnesses later. See a doctor right away for injury treatment, even if it feels like your injury is minor. Maintain a record of your medical care and related documents to help prove your injuries to an insurance company. Don’t admit fault to anyone who asks you about the accident, including any casino or hotel workers and (especially) insurance claims adjusters. Then, contact one of our attorneys to discuss what happened and your potential right to file a claim.

Our Las Vegas team can talk to the insurance company and other representatives on your behalf. We can lessen the stress and headache of a legal claim, and work with you until your case is resolved in a successful manner.

Can I file a lawsuit against a Las Vegas casino?

If you were injured on someone else’s property, some of the common claims in a lawsuit are premises liability and negligent security. Both are types of negligence cases where you must prove that the property owner acted in a careless or unsafe manner, causing your injuries. Generally, lawsuits for these claims must be filed within two years after the date of your incident. This deadline is called the statute of limitations. However, these are issues for your attorney to worry about – as long as you act immediately after your accident, we can take care of the rest.

Potentially liable parties in a hotel or casino injury claim can include parties like the:

  • Casino or hotel itself
  • Establishment’s owners
  • Property owners
  • Parent company
  • Companies providing security

In cases where you were injured by a defective product, the manufacturer of that product may also be liable. If you have an injury you suffered while on vacation, an attorney from Claggett & Sykes Trial Lawyers will give you honest answers to all of your questions and give you a clear picture of your potential claim.

What damages can I recover in a casino accident claim?

When a casino and their staff fail in their duty to keep you safe from harm, you’re eligible to recover damages. Damages are your losses, both economic and non-economic, resulting from the accident and your injuries. These can include things like the medical bills and expenses from your treatment, surgeries, prescriptions, and any physical therapies or home modifications you need to get healthy again. If you lose time from work, damages also include lost wages, past and future.

Non-economic damages include things like your pain and suffering, and emotional anguish stemming from the accident. We understand what you’re going through and we don’t take any of it lightly. We can talk to you about your case and give you informed guidance about your best options going forward.
