GRETNA – A New Orleans woman is suing a local riverboat casino for injuries she claims to have received when she tripped on a set of stairs.
Laquisha Keller filed suit against Louisiana A-1 Gaming, a Louisiana Partnership in Commendam, Boomtown Belle Casino Westbank and their insurer in the 24th Judicial District Court on Dec. 13. Keller claims she was at the Boomtown casino when she was walking up the stairs and tripped over a metal strip that was loose and sticking out. The plaintiff alleges that she received severe injuries when she fell in the incident.
The defendant is accused of failing to maintain the premises in safe condition, maintaining a condition the defendant should have known was dangerous, permitting an unsafe condition to exist and failing to warn customers of unsafe conditions.
An unspecified amount of damages is sought pain and suffering, mental anguish and medical expenses.
Keller is represented by J. Nelson Mayer III of New Orleans-based Valteau Harris Koenig & Mayer.
The case has been assigned to Division N Judge Hans J. Liljeberg.
