Casino
customer awarded $499,000 after fall
October 20
In Connecticut, a tribal court judge awarded $499,613 to a Groton
casino customer man who injured
his back and neck after falling from a broken slot machine chair at
Mohegan Sun. If you are at home playing at an online casino and-/or
reading this - be sure to check the char you are sitting on - HA!
Frank Wilson Jr., who had worked as a machinist at Electric
Boat, sued the casino for lost wages and pain and suffering
resulting from the July 7, 2001 accident. Wilson, now 49, was
playing slots when the back of his chair broke. He fell to the
floor, landing on his buttocks and back. He was taken to the
hospital for treatment and later underwent surgery as a result of
the fall.
He was able to return to work for awhile but was disturbed by neck and back pain and ceased working five months
later, according to a court document.
Judge F. Owen Eagan awarded Wilson $499.613.47 plus costs
following a three-day trial in the Mohegan tribe's Gaming Disputes
Court, during which seven witnesses testified. Eagan concluded that
Wilson's fall at the casino alone did not so disable him that he
lost the ability to perform other less strenuous, sedentary work.
The judge wrote that Wilson's dependence on pain pills and the sleep
disorder narcolepsy, with which he has been diagnosed, prevent him
from resuming work.
Well, he still got a bit of cash out of the deal.
