Can a casino be sued for injuries or liability that caused brain damage?

Asked almost 3 years ago - Vicksburg, MS

A friend of mine was at the casino when she suffered a heart attack. She was given chest compressions but no CPR was adminstered. This caused her signficant brain damage, and has left her in a vegetative state.

Your facts were not very specific, but you did say that chest compressions were given, that is part or CPR as far as I know, but then again, I have not been a nurse in over 12 years so perhaps the standards have change. My question would be, what did the casino do wrong? I don't think that they are required to administer CPR to any one, unless they have healthcare personnel for that reason and they failed to perform as required. Nevertheless, without more details I would only recommend that you contact an attorney in your area.

Possibly, we need more facts though. You need a personal injury attorney immediately.

My standard disclaimer: I am not offering legal advice or services, assume all of my advice is completely incorrect, assume I do not know the law in your state and assume that I am just making suggestions for starting points for when you do speak with an attorney. Do NOT rely on anything I write and contact a lawyer in your area immediately after reading my posting.
