Personal Injury Accidents That Can Happen at Foxwoods
With such a variety of activities and facilities at Foxwoods, there are many ways a person can sustain an injury. At Suisman Shapiro, we take care to understand the details of your accident to help us build a strong claim and establish Foxwoods’ liability. Some accidents that may occur include:
- Slips and falls. Falls make up 21% of all preventable injury deaths and can cause severe injuries like broken bones or traumatic brain injuries. Foxwoods may be liable when they were negligent toward hazards such as wet floors from spilled drinks, uneven flooring, icy walkways, broken handrails, or broken stairs.
- Food poisoning. Whether dining at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen or Momosan by Morimoto, high-quality and safe preparation is expected. However, when you get food poisoning due to unsafe food handling practices, filing a claim can help you recover.
- Broken chair injuries. The equipment and furniture at Foxwoods often wear down from heavy usage, such as the chairs at the 3,500 slot machines. When a chair breaks, it can leave you with back injuries, bone fractures, and soft tissue injuries that the casino may be liable for.
- Swimming pool injuries. Many of Foxwoods’ hotels have swimming pools for you to enjoy. Yet, negligence in pool safety and cleaning can lead to injuries ranging from minor scrapes to life-threatening infections or drowning. About 8,000 nonfatal and 4,000 fatal drownings occur each day.
- Criminal activity. When criminal acts like robbery or assault happen when you’re at Foxwoods, the casino may be liable if it failed to provide reasonable security measures. This could include a lack of proper lighting in the parking garage or no security cameras in high-risk locations.
- Vehicle accidents. Foxwoods may not be at fault for all vehicle accidents, but actions such as overserving alcohol to someone who was about to drive may leave them liable.
Why You Should Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer to Prove Liability
To file a claim against Foxwoods or a specific individual or party at the casino, a Foxwoods casino injury lawyer can help you prove the at-fault party’s negligence. This involves proving four elements of negligence:
- Duty of care. The duty of care is the casino’s responsibility to keep the property free from hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, broken equipment, or unsupervised pools.
- Breach of duty. You have to prove that the casino failed to uphold its duty of care, which led to a hazard on the property. To file a claim, the casino must have been aware of the hazard and still neglected it, or should have been aware of it due to the circumstances of the hazard.
- Causation. The casino’s negligence must have directly caused your accident. This can involve proving that the accident would not have occurred if the property had been properly maintained.
- Damages. You must also prove that you suffered measurable damages, such as your injury or property damage.
A lawyer can establish the casino’s negligence and prove your damages by gathering evidence. Common types of evidence in a personal injury case include photographs of the hazardous conditions, incident reports, security camera footage, and witness testimony.
FAQs
Is a Casino Personal Injury Claim Handled in Tribal Court?
Yes, your casino personal injury claim may be handled in the tribal court system. Foxwoods Resort Casino is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which means many accidents that occur at the casino are handled in tribal courts. A Foxwoods casino injury attorney at Suisman Shapiro has experience in the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Court and can help you navigate a claim.
What Should You Do After a Casino Accident?
Immediately after a casino accident, you should report the incident to the casino’s management and seek medical attention for your injuries. If you need emergency medical services or there is a large amount of property damage, contact the police. Then, begin documenting the scene by taking photos and collecting contact information from any witnesses. Contact a lawyer who can explain what to do next and help you gather evidence.
Is It Better to File a Claim or Settle?
Whether it is better to file a claim or settle depends on your case. Most personal injury cases end in a settlement, which has the advantage of avoiding an expensive and time-consuming court case while remaining private. However, some cases can’t reach a fair settlement through negotiations, in which case filing a claim may be necessary. If you hire a personal injury lawyer, they can explain your options and represent you no matter where your case is resolved.
What Damages Can You Claim in a Personal Injury Claim?
You can claim many types of damages in a personal injury claim, as long as they can be proven with evidence. You can claim economic damages, such as medical bills, property damage, and lost wages; non-economic damages like pain and suffering; and punitive damages in cases where the at-fault party exhibited extreme or willful negligence. A lawyer can make sure your claim is comprehensive, including all of your losses.
