Why Casino Injuries Are a Serious Issue

Las Vegas casinos welcome millions of visitors every year. Behind the flashing lights and entertainment, however, casinos are massive commercial properties with constant foot traffic, alcohol service, and high-risk environments. When casinos fail to protect guests, serious injuries occur, from slips and falls on gaming floors to assaults caused by inadequate security.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we know casinos are quick to protect their profits but slow to protect their guests. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, our attorneys represent casino injury victims statewide, taking cases to trial when necessary to hold powerful corporations accountable.

Common Types of Casino Accidents

Casinos are responsible for maintaining safe conditions for guests and employees. Negligence can lead to a wide range of accidents, including:

  • Slip and fall accidents on wet or uneven floors
  • Escalator or elevator malfunctions
  • Poor lighting leading to trip hazards
  • Food poisoning from unsanitary kitchens or buffets
  • Negligent security resulting in assault, robbery, or other violent crime
  • Pool or spa accidents
  • Overcrowding injuries in entertainment venues or nightclubs
  • Falling objects from improperly secured displays or construction areas

Casinos have both the resources and the responsibility to prevent these hazards, and when they don’t, they can and should be held liable.

How Cogburn Davidson Helps

Casinos and their insurers move quickly to limit liability after an accident. They may deny responsibility, downplay injuries, or pressure victims into unfair settlements. We don’t let them. Our attorneys:

  • Investigate surveillance footage, incident reports, and witness accounts
  • Work with safety and medical experts to prove negligence
  • Identify all liable parties, including casino operators and management companies
  • Prepare every case for trial to maximize recovery
  • Provide compassionate, client-first representation throughout the process

We are not intimidated by large corporations or their legal teams; we fight them head-on.
