You can reach out Miami-Dade County office at (305) 371-6000 to schedule a free consultation.

Crime & Accidents at Magic City Casino

Magic City Casino and other local casinos are no strangers to crime and accidents. Theft, robbery, and burglary can occur in connection with casino winnings. In 2014, two separate jackpot winners from Magic City Casino were robbed. A 27-year-old local man targeted the two winners as they left the casino. The robber took $8,000 from an elderly man and $10,000 from an elderly woman, who also suffered a head injury during the offense.

Violence can also break out at casinos, particularly after some patrons imbibe too much alcohol or other drugs. While at a casino, you may be the direct victim of a violent crime, or you could be injured as a nearby onlooker. In 2016, a patron at Magic City Casino refused to leave the facility after becoming belligerent. A uniformed, yet off-duty officer was called to help, and the patron did not cooperate. It is reported he threw money at the officer, wrestled him, and cut his face. The officer was forced to defend himself and shot the patron.

Traffic accidents are also common issues in front of casinos and in their parking lots. In 2017, a 25-year-old man was struck by a vehicle in front of Magic City Casino. The driver did not stop, making it a criminal hit-and-run. While the pedestrian was reported to be conscious when he was taken to the hospital, not all car wrecks have a happy ending. Many crashes result in serious injuries and fatalities. If you are injured in a car accident or other crime at Magic City Casino, it is best to contact an accident lawyer for Magic City Casino right away.

Additionally, you may be hurt in an accident that does not amount to a crime. Common accidents that could cause you to be injured at a casino include slip and falls, unsafe property conditions, contaminated food and drinks, and excessive force by security.

Casino Owners may be Responsible for Your Injuries

If you were injured at a casino, and you believe the casino owners are responsible for what happened, you should call us at Gerson & Schwartz P.A. as soon as possible. When you are lawfully in a business establishment in Miami, the business owners and operators have a legal duty to keep you safe. This is known as premises liability. They must keep the property safe for you and other visitors. There should be no chance of you slipping on a wet floor or being struck in the head by a falling object. Casino owners must adhere to all federal and state food and safety regulations. Everything you eat and drink at a casino should be clean and safe. Additionally, because casinos are at risk for violence, the proprietors must provide an appropriate amount of security to attempt to prevent the crimes they know could occur, such as robbery, assault, and sexual assault. To learn more about casino owner’s legal responsibilities toward you when you are a paying customer, call our accident attorneys for Magic City Casino today.

Pursuing Compensation After You are Hurt in a Casino

When you are hurt on a casino’s property, and the casino management or owner is responsible, you may have the right to pursue compensation. An experienced lawyer can guide you through seeking compensation through an insurance claim, or if necessary, a personal injury lawsuit. Through this claim, you may ask for compensation for your:

  • Current and future medical costs
  • Lost wages
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Physical limitation (disability)
  • Reduced earning potential
  • Loss of normal life
