CHARLESTON – A Mingo County woman alleges she was injured at a casino after a chair collapsed.
Brenda Layne filed a complaint Nov. 8 in Kanawha Circuit Court against Racing Corp. of West Virginia, doing business as Mardi Gras Casino & Resort, alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Nov. 25, 2015, she was injured at defendant's premises when one of the chairs collapsed and an unknown patron struck and knocked the plaintiff down. She alleges as a result, she sustained injuries resulting in pain and suffering, medical expenses, diminished ability to enjoy life and physical impairment.
