Casino

Well I think that I'm basicly screwed on this one but I am going to ask you guy's anyway.
I was at the Hard Rock Saturday afternoon to see the Pawn Stars(I love that show)
I was there for about three hours waiting for their autograph session.
A little after 3 the little lady and I were almost to the stage area and as we were walking forward somehow I tripped and fell over their hook rope that was seperating the wall from the people standing in line.
I got up immediately and got back in line with a very sharp pain in my right shoulder.
We went on stage got all the signatures and left the Casino.
Went straight home and the pain became to much to bare so we went to the new St Johns Hospital out here in B.A.
I dislocated my right shoulder and I am still in quite some pain.
I contacted the Casino yesterday and Security wants me to come up there tonight and fill out a report.
I am truly not the type who tries to sue over something as my clutsyness.
Has anyone here ever had any dealings with the Casinos and their on property accidents ?
I mean if they even would help me out a little with the Hospital bill I would take that as a win.

Forms? Careful at the last 20 seconds, language not safe for work.

D-Back I love Armed and Dangerous.
Swake, not sure what your response is.

Dont do that.
It would not be to your advantage, and you are under no obligation to do so.

I've known several places to do that and pay out pretty good money without a lawyer ever being called.

I dunno but it'll be worth a shot. I fell off a ladder last Monday hurt my right side, but it was a few days latter that it started to hurt more, I just left it and now the pain is just about gone. I have not a clue what I injured. I hate the hassle and long waits to go to a ER plus the unending medical bills that come in the mail afters. Anyhow my right side is much better now. But Yes as long as you went for medical treatment I'd give it a shot.

I was on a jury for a trip and fall at a hotel conference.  Apparently they offered her a nice settlement after she filled out the accident report but she waived it after talking to a lawyer.  She lost in court.  Fill out the form and take any settlement.

I know how you feel about going to the E.R. I was totally against it. Thats why we didnt get there till after 8 oclock. But once they took X-rays and had to put me under twice to get it back in place. I was glad I finally gave in and went.
Like I said. If they want to help out in even a little way. I would feel much better about the situation.
Also, and I'm not about to tell them. I cant stand Casinos and I never go to them, Ever.

For those who don't like the ER, one could goto an Urgent Care or walk in clinic.

Once you find out how easy it is to get money, I strongly suggest you make a habit of it.   Reasors looks like a potential cash cow.

Also, think about suing your shoe manufacturer.    Maybe your sock manufacturer as well as it might have been bunched up and not properly elasticized keeping it high up on your ankles.

Oh.   And you better go back and delete your first post as you all but admitted it was your fault.

I went and filled out my report to the security last night and the gentleman was very courteous and nice about my situation. He is going to give the report to his supervisor and it will be reviewed and they will contact me.
So I will post what happens in the coming days. Thanks for all the responses.

Nice. I have not talked to a Attorney nor do I have any intention of doing so. I basicly wanted to know if a big business such as a Casino has a policy about someone having a "Accident" on their property. Doesnt matter how it happens, i.e. slipping on a oil patch at the pumps at Q.T.
Not everyone is a vulture of the law. I know coffee is supposed to be hot.

if you tripped at your neighbors house, or better yet your mother in-laws, would expect them to pay?
as a small business owner who has been through this, this pisses me off...
you tripped and you described it "as my clutsyness", smile happens...

fwiw, you'll get the insurance's usual payout offer to go away (in my case they offered the guy 5k) and you'lll bump the casino's rates but then again, what do you care? this makes me sick.

and i wouldnt make a habit of discussing this in an open forum or via any discoverable electronic media. just sayin'

There again boy's. YOUR MISSING THE POINT !
I have not mentioned one dime to them or said anything about suing anyone. YOUR PISSING ME OFF !
I asked a simple question if anyone had delt with a Casino or knew of anyone who had, that had a "Accident" Do they have a standing POLICY for this type of incident ?
If they offer to pay anything of my Medical bill, Fantastic. If not, I walk away.
Sorry that either of you got caught up with someone who uses the Law as their income.
I have a job and it's not making frivolous Lawsuits.
