Jack Casino Pays $3M To A Woman Who Collapsed On Their Floor

Introduction

Hamilton County Jury awarded $3 million to a plaintiff against Jack Casino after she fell by a collapsed “wet floor” sign in September 2016.

According to her attorney, the customers knocked the sign, and a Jack employee, walked around it but failed to pick up moments before she tripped over it. Plaintiff suffered from a broken knee cap, and metal hardware was placed in her knee. She also stated that the casino had no safety policies in place for floor inspection or fall prevention and had no criticism of the employee’s who failed to pick up the trip hazard. 

The defense attorney argued that the sign remained visible and the plaintiff failed to pay attention to her surroundings. A Hamilton County Common Pleas jury found that the defendant failed to use ordinary care for the plaintiff and to maintain a safe environment which resulted in an injury. The complaint stated that plaintiff suffered from permanent bodily injury, endured pain, suffering, and the fall led to her losing the "enjoyment of her good health."
