Common Types of Casino Injuries in Las Vegas
Many people walk into a casino with one thing on their mind: money. The only concern a gambler only has is losing their money, not their mental or physical wellness. There are several injuries that casino-goers usually experience, but there are three kinds of common accidents that take place.
Tourist Transportation: People all around the globe travel to the city of sin to enjoy luxurious restaurants and most of all gamble. It has been reported that over three million tourists go to Las Vegas each month. Unfortunately, though while traveling to their hotel many visitors are involved in shuttle bus accidents. Negligence for the bus accident can be due to the casino not maintaining the shuttle. Regular checks and updates for tourist transportation can help prevent crashes and injuries. The weight and size of the bus can do more damage than a motor vehicle. A bus crash can result in injury victims enduring harm to the spinal cord, broken bones, or a brain injury.
Food Poisoning: Buffets are a staple in Las Vegas. Many serve various kinds of food that include pasta, BBQ chicken, and egg rolls. What shouldn’t be on the menu though, is an infection that can be contracted due to contaminated food. A total of 128,000 people are sent to the emergency room due to food poisoning at buffets. To add, about 3,000 people die from a bacteria-infested food item. Vice.com reported that buffets are filled with germs. Reasons range from customers not washing hands and grabbing the food to food being left out for long periods of time. The Federal Food Safety Commission requires that the standard temperature for hot food should be 140 degrees Fahrenheit and the standard temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit for cold food. Types of bacteria that can be found in food that is improperly handled are salmonella, listeria, or even e-coli.
Slip and Falls: Research has concluded that severe fractures account for 5% percent of falls. It is the duty of casino owners to assure that items such as chairs and floors have proper maintenance and upkeep. Many gamblers who go or stay at casinos are part of the elder population. Statistics have proven that the elderly demographic has a higher chance of fracturing a hip and even dying.

What if I am Injured at a Native American Owned Casino?
Over 567 Native American tribes are recognized in the United States but only 238 tribes own or oversee casinos.
Indian tribes were given sovereign immunity by the Federal government. Sovereign immunity amongst tribes means that Native Americans have the right to dictate rights and laws within their community. If a person has experienced any accidents and injuries in a casino that is on a Native American reservation or belongs to a Native American tribe, trying to file an injury claim will be complicated.
Since indigenous tribes govern themselves, the laws that apply in the state of Nevada would not apply to the tribes. The process of suing a tribal casino means that first and foremost the tribe must consent to be sued. Tribal nations also have insurance for their casinos and at times will pay the minimum amount of financial compensation if you have been injured in a casino accident.
Las Vegas Casino Insurance Companies
Although the insurance company of a Casino may seem to have your best interest and give the impression of being accommodating, their sole purpose is to give you as little money as possible for your injuries. Some insurance adjusters may also use strategic moves to make you feel that you were at fault for your injury.
If you stay at a Las Vegas casino it is their responsibility to make sure you are safe on their premises. Do not let the insurance adjusters intimidate you when they failed to make sure you were properly cared for on casino property. It is in your best interest to pursue legal representation, so you can gain the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
