Premises Liability Attorneys
Injured at Gulfstream or The Big Easy? The House Doesn’t Always Win.
Casinos have teams of lawyers and thousands of cameras. You need a local firm that knows how to demand the evidence.
Hallandale Beach is home to two major gaming destinations: Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino and The Big Easy Casino (formerly Mardi Gras). While these venues provide entertainment, they also present significant hazards.
With thousands of visitors daily, spilled drinks, poorly maintained restrooms, and inadequate security in parking garages are common issues. Unlike tribal casinos (like the Hard Rock), Gulfstream and The Big Easy operate under Florida state laws, which means we can sue them directly in state court if their negligence caused your injury.
The Hazard: Patrons often carry drinks while walking through crowded slot aisles. Spills are frequent, and low lighting makes puddles hard to see.
Our Argument: Failure to inspect and clean floors.
The Hazard: Large parking garages and cash winnings attract criminals. If a casino fails to provide adequate lighting or security patrols, they may be liable if you are robbed or assaulted.
Our Argument: Foreseeable risk of crime.
The Hazard: Leaking sinks in restrooms or grease spills in the dining areas (like Ten Palms or the French Quarter) are major slip hazards.
Our Argument: Negligent maintenance.
The Hazard: Malfunctioning escalators or uneven elevator stops can cause serious falls, especially for elderly patrons.
Our Argument: Equipment liability.
Casinos like Gulfstream have some of the most advanced surveillance systems in the world. However, this footage is often deleted or “written over” within days if not requested legally.
At Fenstersheib Law Group, our first step is often sending a “Spoliation Letter” to the casino management. This legal document puts them on notice that they must preserve the footage of your accident. If they delete it after receiving this letter, the court can punish them.
Warning: Do not sign any “Incident Reports” or accept “Complimentary Chips” from casino management without speaking to a lawyer. They may try to get you to waive your rights immediately after an injury.
