Florida Casino Injury Lawyers

Battle-Tested Casino Accident Lawyers Work Tirelessly to Win Compensation for Clients Suffering From Casino Injuries in Broward County and Throughout FL

As is the case with any other property owner, casino owners are legally obligated to maintain their casino premises in a reasonably safe condition for the individuals who make their business operations successful. Casinos in South Florida are often massive operations and may contain restaurants, bars, hotels and other recreational amenities in addition to the basic casino gambling operations. Some casinos even provide shuttle or bus transportation between locations, airports, hotels or within the casino grounds. Because of this, there are many opportunities for those who visit a casino to sustain injuries if the casino owner and employees are not responsible for taking steps to prevent injury. Florida Casino Injury Lawyers at Lawlor, White & Murphey provide outstanding legal representation for Casino Injury cases throughout South Florida. Contact us today.

At Lawlor, White & Murphey, we understand that casinos are highly profit motivated entities and may cut corners in order to enhance those profits. Despite this, understaffing, failing to maintain crumbling facilities or replace damaged property can cause serious injuries—especially to the senior citizen community of Fort Lauderdale that may be more vulnerable to the adverse consequences of a casino accident. The risk of injury created by casino owners is, in some cases, unacceptable, and we will fight to hold these businesses responsible for any resulting harm.

Common Types of Casino Injuries in Florida

Some common forms of casino injury cases that our firm handles include:

  • Casino slip and fall accidents. Wet floors, obstructed walkways, negligently maintained escalators, uneven flooring, and potholes in the parking areas are all examples of negligently maintained facilities that can lead to slip and fall accidents and injuries on a casino’s property.
  • Food poisoning. When the casino restaurants fail to follow proper food handling and preparation standards and a patron suffers from food poisoning as a result, the property owner may be held responsible.
  • Bus or shuttle accidents. If the driver of a casino-provided shuttle or bus was negligent in causing an accident that resulted in injuries, the casino itself may be held responsible for the actions of the driver-employee.
  • Negligent security. Casinos are also required to take reasonable steps to protect casino patrons from any type of criminal activity that can reasonably be anticipated to take place on the casino property—for example, by installing security cameras, maintaining properly working lighting and even hiring security guards.
  • Slot machine injuries. One of the more common casino injuries that occur in South Florida involves broken slot machines or gambling table chairs. These chairs must be inspected and replaced on a regular basis to ensure that the people using them are not harmed.
  • Other dangers on the casino property. As noted, casinos in South Florida are usually huge operations. When the property is not properly maintained, you may suffer injuries at the swimming pool, using an escalator or elevator or even in the parking garage.

The bottom line is that property owners in South Florida are legally obligated to take steps to make sure you are safe while enjoying the property—and, because you visit the casino so that the casino itself can make a profit, this duty includes making regular inspections of the premises and fixing or warning guests of any dangers that are discovered. Importantly, a casino owner can be held responsible for compensating you for your injuries even if they do not actually know of the danger—the fact that they should reasonably have been aware of the casino hazard is often sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Casino Injury Claims in South Florida

What if the casino was operated by a Native American tribe, such as at a Seminole casino?

In some cases, a different set of rules applies when a casino is operated by a Native American organization, as the tribe may be immune from lawsuits in Florida state courts. Applicable statutes of limitations may also be much shorter, making it even more important that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your injury occurs. However, the organization itself will still be required to maintain an insurance liability policy that is much like those that apply in any other case, and that insurance company is the entity that is ultimately responsible for compensating casino injury victims in most cases.

I was injured at the casino, and the casino offered me a settlement but wants me to sign a release before I can take the money. Should I sign the release?

Not without first consulting an attorney. The casino is highly motivated to offer you less than your case may be worth and might make many claims in order to prevent you from consulting legal help to get the compensation that is justifiable in your case. Call a lawyer with experience handling casino injury claims before you sign any type of release, as we can provide you with our informed legal opinion and explain your rights.
