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.
The hazards we see most often at Hallandale casinos — and how we hold the casino responsible.
The hazard: Patrons often carry drinks through crowded slot aisles. Spills are frequent, and low lighting makes puddles hard to see.
Our argument: Failure to inspect & clean floors
The hazard: Large parking garages and cash winnings attract criminals. If a casino fails to provide adequate lighting or security patrols, it may be liable if you are robbed or assaulted.
Our argument: Foreseeable risk of crime
The hazard: Leaking restroom sinks or grease spills in 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. But that footage is often deleted or “written over” within days if it isn’t requested legally.
At Fenstersheib Law Group, our first step is often sending a spoliation letter to casino management.
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.
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.
Yes, under “negligent security” laws. If the casino knew its parking lot was dangerous but failed to provide guards, lighting or gates, it can be held responsible for your injuries.
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.
