Given that you are dealing with a fracture, the 2 day period between the accident and going to the hospital is not fatal to making a claim, although it would have obviously been better in pursuing a claim if you had gone the same night. What will be more important in making the claim, is whether you reported your accident to the casino management and if so, how soon. Also are there witnesses to the accident and the condition you are complaining about. Consult a local personal injury attorney, which will be free of charge, to go over details and see if you have a claim to pursue (don't discuss specifics on this site as it is an open forum for all to see).

Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Hire an attorney who specializes in personal injury as slip and fall cases ADR complex.

Go immediately, and get the treatment you require.

The sooner the better. There is no set limit, other than waiting til after the statute of limitations passes so no claim can be filed. You should consult with local injury lawyer asap.

Do you mean how will a failure to obtain immediate medical attention affect a lawsuit?
