Gambler sues casino to comp his injury

Business Insurance reports that Hickman County, Tennessee, resident Randy Perkins is suing Tunica Roadhouse Corp. for injuries he allegedly sustained while gambling in the company’s casino in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi, in August 2010.

Mr. Perkins’s suit claims he injured his back and left arm after being struck with the unsecured access panel on a slot machine, the Business Insurance report states, and goes on to say that court documents show that Mr. Perkins filed at least six workers compensation claims between 1991 and 2007 for substantial injuries to his spine, back and left hand - injuries that casino attorneys claim Mr. Perkins never mentioned in a sworn deposition during the discovery process of the case.
