Our firm secured a $2.255 million settlement for a casino guest who suffered life-altering injuries after a catastrophic escalator accident at a Reno, Nevada casino.
As our client stepped onto a downward-moving escalator, her foot became trapped inside the escalator mechanism. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as security and bystanders rushed to stop the escalator and help her.
She suffered serious injuries that required months of treatment and rehabilitation, and she was left with permanent physical limitations that affected her ability to work and handle everyday activities.
Through years of litigation, discovery, depositions, and review of surveillance footage, our firm proved that the casino and the companies responsible for inspecting and maintaining the escalator all shared responsibility. The evidence showed that safety failures created a preventable risk that directly caused her injuries.
✅ The case resolved with a $2.255 million settlement, providing compensation for her medical expenses, lost income, long-term impairment, and pain and suffering.
