Thread: Injured at Caesars Palace

  1. #1
    I got hurt walking into Caesars Palace. Caught by the beveled glass edge of an entrance door that sliced my hand. Photos and videos here: http://alanbestbuys.com/id418.html

    Caesars security and medical staff quickly attended to me.

    Where is the pic of the alleged hand?
    Take off that stupid mask you big baby.

    I didn't post the photo of my hand because it might be in poor taste. It's bloody. I think the jacket is enough to make the point.

    That was a quick closing door. If people are ahead of you, it's dangerous. A child could be really injured.

    Absolutely correct. Not only a child but anyone with a rolling suitcase could be slammed by that heavy door.

    Sorry to hear about that. Other than the replacement jacket, did Ceasars offer you any compensation? Did you need any stiches? I bet Ceasars has insurance for that kind of injury and so any claim would not be affected by the bankruptcy.

    Sounds like only a minor accident. I don't see negligence. Unless said door created other incidents, and it wasn't replaced.

    At any rate, the tendency to "pester" Caesars here in public isn't going to help. Can look pretty silly when things don't go your way.

    Remember all the same sorts of Wizard incidents?

    Minor accident? I didn't slip and fall in the shower in my room with no witness. I was cut on a glass door entering the building and bled all over the place and was attended to by their security and their on-staff EMT.

    Was my hand cut off? No.

    But I wouldn't call it "minor" either. You're not supposed to spill blood, and spilling blood is not included in the resort fee.

    I am not licensed to practice in Nevada but I recall that any innkeeper, including Ceasars Palace, because it has invited guests into its premises, has a heightened duty to protect its guests from injuries due to its facilities. For liability to be found it is not required that previous injuries due to this glass door have occurred - but a failure to rectify known problems could enhance future damages. If Ceasars is smart, it would have volunteered some compensation -- particularly to a Seven Stars patron -- other than a replacement jacket.

    Caesars did not offer a replacement jacket. I asked for one. I wear one in the casino because the casino is cold. That was the only jacket I had for this trip. Twice I asked the Risk Management Dept to get me a replacement. They said they would get back to me. A few hours later I called my host who said to buy one from the gift shop and it would be comped.

    Several years ago at Caesars, my suitcase was delivered to my room with a wheel broken off. The bell guy pointed it out when he brought up the suitcase. I thanked him and figured "shit happens", a few minutes later I get a call from security asking for details of the broken wheel. Told them what happened and forgot about it. Fast forward a few weeks, I get a letters from someone at Caesars asking for the price of the luggage. I sent them a copy of the my receipt and a few days later got a check in the mail for the full amount. What was doubly nice is I was able to replace the wheel on the broken luggage for a few dollars. Still using it to this day.

    I'm thinking you will get more than just a free buffet from this incident.

    You'll require some element of civil or criminal negligence to get into the top money of say a mil for the loss or lost function of a hand over the next forty years (to age 75).

    I think you would've shown your thumb were there more to it?

    Bill Yung if I showed my thumb would you say the logo doesn't match the denomination?

    Imagine if this had happened to Dan. After letting it eat away at him, he'd be all over the host office, security, maintenance, management, and legal until they caved in and cut him a check for $35. Dwelling does have it's advantages.....

    People get accidentally hurt in these minor incidents all the time in casino hotels. Those who perpetually lose are always looking to "get something" out of it, while the winners just look at the accident as an annoyance that quickly ends up in their rear view mirror.

    Are you sure ISIS had nothing to do with this? Oh that's right....Obama and Kerry have told us they're "desperate and on the run".

    Here's an update:

    I went to my doctor late yesterday because darn thing is still oozing blood (after 4 days). The flap of skin has a 50/50 chance of healing or dying off. I was given a tetanus shot and put on heavy antibiotics because it is still bleeding. Also, understand I had a kidney and pancreas transplant and I am on anti-rejection drugs which weakens my immune system. Basically, I have no immune system, and now I have an open wound.

    The area is now black and blue (normal) and there is some pain in my hand (also normal) after being hit by a heavy door.

    The most important things to watch now are the healing process and to be sure there is no infection.

    Besides that... my blood pressure was 112/67 (excellent!) my weight was 195 full clothed (stable from my last check up) and blood oxygen is normal.

    My transplants have been working great after eight years.

    Glad you're OK as well Alan. Will look for the infamous door tomorrow when I get there.

    When you get there, see if they adjusted it so that it closes more slowly.

    "OK" is relative. The wound continues to ooze blood. I am concerned it is not healing. It's now been 5 days.

    Earlier today Linda gave me the official "disgusting" reaction.

    Once again, Rob makes an ass out of himself with his assumptions.

    This actually DID happen to me at a CET property.

    In 2009, I was doing the color commentating on ESPN 3 for the $10,000 Limit Holdem final table at the WSOP.

    During one of the breaks, I went to the bathroom. On my way out of the bathroom, as I was reaching for the door handle, it flung open quickly and slammed into my hand.

    Turned out one of the Rio janitors was coming in there to clean, and he pushed the door open too aggressively, to where the door handle slammed into my hand. It hurt a lot and was bleeding heavily.

    The guy said he was sorry. It truly was an accident, even though the guy probably pushed the door too hard. I didn't want to get him in trouble.

    I went up to security and asked for a large band-aid. They kept wanting me to file a report, but I refused. I just wanted a band-aid. They finally gave me two.

    I went back to the studio and resumed the broadcast. However, my hand wouldn't stop bleeding. One of the media employees went and got me some more band-aids and some ointment, which I applied while doing the broadcast, which lasted about 6 more hours.

    The cut was pretty big, my hand hurt a lot, and it took some time to heal.

    Never filed a report, never asked for anything. Most important to me was that I didn't cause some innocent guy to lose his job, and obviously he didn't, because I never reported what happened.
