Deborah Fenton v. Nevada Property 1, LLC

Summary

In this slip and fall case, Deborah Fenton attended a private event at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Fenton slipped on a spilled drink during the event, allegedly causing severe leg injuries as well as chronic Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. She sues the hotel, claiming that workers should have cleaned up the spill.

Attorneys for The Cosmopolitan argue that workers at the hotel did not have enough time to react to the spill before Fenton fell, and responsibility lies with the organization leasing the space.

Outcome

Verdict for the plaintiff.
Total damages: $15 million.
