Casino Injuries/Tribal Law
Attorney Pazzaglia is a licensed Tribal attorney at Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos. These licenses are tribal specific and allow us to bring a claim/case in tribal court if a person is injured as a result of negligence while at the casino. Special licensing is required as tribal law is a niche, unique area of law which typically involves a variety of interplay between tribal law, state law and federal law. There is generally a shorter statute of limitations on negligence cases where a lawsuit must be filed within 1 year from the date of the injury. Therefore, if you have sustained an injury at the casino it is imperative to contact a tribal attorney right away.
Heading to the casino is often a fun night out for family and friends and sometimes injuries and accidents happen.
The types of these claims we handle are as follows:
- Patrons injured by drunk drivers who were overserved alcohol at the casino
- Wrongful death claims
- Motor vehicle accidents on casino grounds or by vehicles owned and/or operated by a casino
- Slip and Falls caused by:
- Inadequate lighting
- Debris in pathways
- Inadequate maintenance
- Ripped or torn carpet
- Construction defects
- Snow and Ice
- Liquid Spills
- Uneven or cracked walkways and/or pavement
