Slip-and-Fall Injuries at Atlantic City Trump Taj Mahal Casino

You might have ambitious plans for a trip to Atlantic City: A walk across the Steel Pier boardwalk, dinner at the Hard Rock Caf, and of course a little gambling. You probably don’t expect to suffer a slip-and-fall inside the Trump Taj Mahal Casino, but if you do, it can ruin more than just your fun night out. Serious injuries, like those sustained by the 8.9 million fall victims that the National Safety Council reports visit emergency rooms each year, are enough to wipe the smile off of anyone’s poker face.

Costs After an Accident

As the days following your accident go by, you may quickly see how expenses and bills pile up. If you sustained any of the following serious injuries during your slip-and-fall at Trump Taj Mahal, you may be in for repeated doctor’s visits, costly tests, and any number of medical treatments and procedures, ranging from physical therapy to aggressive surgeries before you reach maximum recovery:

• Severe fractures or breaks
• Herniated discs
• Spinal cord damage

• Head trauma
• Damaged ligaments or nerves

The costs of medical care can quickly rise much higher than you were willing to lose on the gambling floor. Even a broken arm can cost more than $12,000 in medical care, according to The Examiner. And unlike a casino trip, there’s never a point where you can cash out or just walk away. You may feel that your physical injuries have trapped you inside the pain and unmanageable financial costs, but you shouldn’t have to pay out of your pocket for injuries that aren’t your fault.

If your injuries make you unable to return to your job, even temporarily, your finances could be in danger. You work hard for your paycheck, and you need it to support your family. Without that income, you could be struggling just to afford the basic necessities your family needs to survive, and the emotional toll can adversely affect your mindset as you work to recovery form your injuries. The anxiety about providing for your family might tempt you to put your medical treatment on hold, but when you gamble with your health, everyone loses.

Why You Need Compensation

Compensation can help you fill the financial voids left by the unfair medical expenses and lost wages. A slip-and-fall at Trump Taj Mahal doesn’t have to cost you. It does, however, call for legal assistance. Filing a personal injury claim is essential for getting the compensation that you deserve after someone else’s careless behavior has caused you to sustain injuries. To make your claim successful and get the money that your family needs and deserves for the damages you have suffered, you need a lawyer with years of experience handling personal injury claims.

Though casinos make massive amounts of money each year, Trump Taj Mahal earned a profit of $16,700,000 in just the third quarter of 2012, according to The Courier Post, you are unlikely to see any of it after a slip-and-fall accident if you attempt to pursue a claim on your own. If a casino’s insurance company does contact you, they will probably try to deny or delay your claim however possible, and they will almost definitely not offer you the full compensation you deserve. Only by choosing a lawyer that will thoroughly investigate your accident, collect all of the necessary evidence, and meticulously prepare for your case will you recover maximum compensation for your injuries.
