Do I have the Right to Sue Parkwest Bicycle Casino?
Under the law of premises liability, you have the right to sue Bicycle Casino if there was a hazard on the property that caused you to be injured. This includes inadequate security that increased the likelihood of a robbery, sexual assault or physical violence. In essence, a business owner has a duty of care to ensure the safety of their premises. This goal can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including:
- Removing spills and other slip and fall hazards
- Using signs to warn people of a hazard that cannot be resolved right away
- Keeping wires and cords out of people’s way in order to prevent a trip and fall
- Making sure all security cameras on the property are in good working order
- Using bright lighting in parking lots, corridors, and stairwells
- Scheduling regular inspections and maintenance for elevators / escalators
- Fixing plumbing issues in the bathroom (leaking toilets and sinks, for example)
- Fixing loose of broken handrails and steps
The truth is, accidents are bound to happen, no matter where you are or what you are doing. But casinos, hotels, and other venues have a legal obligation to inspect and maintain their property on a regular basis. Unfortunately, understaffing, poor management, lack of training, etc., are the cause of most accidents that can happen at a casino. These are examples of negligence, which is the basis for a personal injury lawsuit. If you would like to explore the option of suing Parkwest Bicycle Casino for an injury, contact the offices of Normandie Law Firm.
What Should I Do if I’ve Been Injured at a Casino?
If you or your family member suffered an injury while visiting Bicycle Casino, please take the following steps to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve:
- If you have serious injuries, call 911 or let the casino call an ambulance for you.
- If you don’t need immediate medical assistance, talk to a manager and make sure they file an accident report. Ask for a copy of the report before you leave the casino.
- Take photos of any visible injuries and the scene of the accident.
- If there are witnesses, ask them for written statements or their contact information.
- Seek medical attention within 48 hours, as you will need documentation of the injuries from the accident.
- Keep your medical records, proof of lost time at work and other evidence of monetary losses.
- Contact a lawyer with experience in lawsuits for accidents at a casino.
Filing a Workplace Injury Claim
Are you a Bicycle Casino employee who was injured at work? Accidents in the workplace are extremely common among those that work in the hospitality industry. In fact, the rate of workplace injury is even higher than injuries among guests and visitors, which is why it’s important to take immediate action if you got hurt while working at Parkwest Bicycle Casino.
Instead of a personal injury claim, you would file for benefits under the state’s workers’ compensation program. The process begins by telling your supervisor about the accident, which you will need to do within 30 days. But we recommend that you talk to them immediately, as you don’t want to cause delays in your payments when you are out of work for an extended period of time.
There’s no need to prove that anyone’s negligence caused you to be injured, which is not a requirement for a workers’ comp claim. But if there is third party negligence, we can look into the possibility of a lawsuit, which will provide you with compensation on top of a claim for worker’s compensation. Please note, however, that these are two separate legal actions with different filing requirements. To ensure that all the necessary paperwork is submitted in a timely manner, contact us to speak with a workplace accident injury attorney.
What is the Average Settlement for a Bicycle Casino Injury Case?
Lawsuits for negligence by a casino may be worth between $15,000 and $2,500,000, though the actual value can range from a few thousand dollars to over $5,000,000. How much you can receive from an accident claim depends on many details that are unique to your accident, the injuries you’ve sustained, and the exact cause of the incident (negligence by casino owners and/or employees). The majority of clients we represent end up with anywhere from $75,000 to $3,000,000, but the amount of compensation you may receive is a subject we can explore during a free, private consultation.
How Long will a Casino Accident Claim Take to Settle?
A lawsuit for injuries on a commercial property can take anywhere from a few months to 3 or more years. On average, these cases take 8 to 12 months, though severe injuries, gross negligence, and other extreme circumstances will add 1 or more years to the legal process. If, for example, you end up with a permanent disability, negotiating a settlement award can take around 18 months. There is a small possibility that your case will go to trial (less than 5%), and in that case, it will probably take over 3 years to receive payment based on a jury verdict.
Statute of Limitations – How Long Do I have for a Lawsuit?
The amount of time you have to sue Parkwest Bicycle Casino is 2 years, starting from when you are injured on the premises. However, the statute of limitations for a sexual assault lawsuit is 10 years if you were 18 years or older at the time of the incident. If we are talking about the sexual abuse of a child (under 18), the deadline is either:
- The victim’s 40th birthday
- 5 years from the date of discovering a physical injury or psychological damage from sexual abuse as a minor.
But what if you are a staff member at Bicycle Casino instead of a guest? You have 1 year from the date of a workplace accident to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. We know this is a lot to think about when it comes to the deadline for an injury claim, but our lawyers are with you every step of the way. Just contact us at your earliest convenience and talk to a lawyer who can help you figure out the deadline for a lawsuit against Parkwest Bicycle Casino.
