Woman wins $3M after slipping on casino floor

An Ohio jury awarded a woman $3 million last week after she sustained injuries in a fall that took place at the Jack Casino in Cincinnati in 2016.

According to testimony and video, Lynda Sadowski tripped over a collapsed "wet floor" sign while visiting the casino. She suffered a broken kneecap which required surgeons to install a metal plate in her leg, according to her complaint.

The complaint further stated that Sadowski has lost the "enjoyment of her good health," and cited additional arthritis pain in her knee as a result of the accident, which may require another surgery.

The casino maintains that the sign, though lying flat on the floor, was still visible and it was Sadowski's own inattentiveness to her surroundings that caused the accident. A security video allegedly showed that a casino employee had walked past the sign moments before the fall without addressing it.

Sadowski's attorney, who maintains that the casino is fully liable for the incident, said in a statement, "The casino had no safety policies in place for floor inspection or fall prevention and had no criticism of the employee’s failure to pick up the trip hazard even though its own internal documents found her at fault. The casino’s callous disregard for their customers’ safety was on full display throughout the trial."

The jury ruled in favor of Sadowski, citing that the casino failed to "use ordinary care" to prevent this and similar incidents from taking place.

The headline technically incorrect:  She didn't "slip," she tripped over a sign cautioning her to not slip.  I know it's a technical thing, but as one who's wife is known as Miss Slippy, I consider myself a bit of an expert on the subject.   :laugh: :police:

True. It should say woman wins 2 million, lawyer wins 1 million.

I didn't know falling down was something you could wager on in a casino.

What will they think of next?
