Common Casino Injuries

Holding Hallandale Casinos Accountable

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.

Types of Casino Accident Cases We Handle

Slip & Fall Near Slot Machines

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.

Negligent Security & Assaults

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.

Restroom & Restaurant Falls

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.

Escalator & Elevator Injuries

The Hazard: Malfunctioning escalators or uneven elevator stops can cause serious falls, especially for elderly patrons.

Our Argument: Equipment liability.

The “Eye in the Sky”: Securing Video Evidence

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.

Casino Injury FAQs

The casino says the spill was “fresh” and they aren’t liable. Is that true?
Not always. This is a common defense. We use security footage to prove *how long* the spill was there. If an employee walked past it and ignored it, or if it was there for 20 minutes, they are liable.
Can I sue if I was assaulted in the casino parking lot?
Yes, under “Negligent Security” laws. If the casino knew their parking lot was dangerous but failed to provide guards, lighting, or gates, they can be held responsible for your injuries.
Are Gulfstream and The Big Easy considered “Tribal Land”?
No. Unlike the Seminole Hard Rock, these are private commercial venues regulated by Florida state law. This generally makes the legal process faster and more favorable to victims than suing a sovereign tribe.
