The Nevada case I was referring to is this one: https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/health-plan-of-nevada-must-pay-500-million-in-hepatitis-c-case/
The plaintiff’s attorney’s didn’t want evidence that some fucking doctor was reusing the solution to save money, so he brought only intentonal tort claims against the pharma company and got all the evidence that the doctor was engaging in criminal acts excluded. |

Date: October 2nd, 2017 10:59 PM Author: Brindle point sneaky criminal why would the fact that they had security cameras matter? they have to be more vigilant because they have cameras and security? if that were the case it would just discourage companies from having security at all.
Now, if the guy was waiving around his guns in the lobby then you'd have a theory of negligence, but it doesn't sound like that was the case at all.
I don't see how they have liability.
It's a tragedy and it sucks but it wasn't MGM's fault at all.
Thankfully there have been a lot of blood donations, and monetary donations, so hopefully the victims and their families can be well taken care of. |

but as i think stated above, the fact that the people were not guests of the hotel could make for some interesting wrinkles. if the shooter had decided to shoot from the street, would anybody have liability? how does it change things once he does it from the hotel? i guess you could try and make the argument that a room up on the 32nd floor provided a better vantage point and concealment.
it might also be worth noting that he checked in on sept. 28th. should the hotel be on alert days before an event in order to fulfill their duty? |

Date: October 3rd, 2017 5:10 AM Author: peach library organic girlfriend What? I am a lawyer. Let's say every death results in a claim settled for $3 million, that's $180 million. Every injury averages $200k, that's $120 million. Those are pretty generous settlement values and you're still only talking $400 million. Triple them and it's only $1.2 billion. MGM is one of the largest casino and resort operators on the planet. Mandalay Bay alone is worth a billion. Oh, and by the way, this is likely covered under their CGL so insurance will be paying.
So to answer the OP's question, no they are not permafucked due to litigation. They will lose more money if tourism drops 5 percent than they will spend or lose on these cases. |

THey will prob have to install bulletproof glass on all windows and have heavy security and they will pay out the ass in settlement/go bankrupt doing so
Policy wise - no, they shouldn't be liable
there's prob some duty argument - they had cameras installed, their windows were too easily broken, security didn't notice, etc. Odds are they are going to settle for huge $$$$

Date: October 3rd, 2017 6:49 AM Author: fighting water buffalo becky A few broad points on the Nevada legal system in general:
1) until very recently, like two years ago, Nevada did not have a court of appeal. It was just trial courts and the Supreme Court. As a result there is very little jurisprudence on many issues. Nevada courts traditionally defer to California decisions when there's no on point Authority – if that's the case, the casinos are fucked.
2) the casinos aren't fucked. Nevada has an elected judiciary. There isn't a snowballs chance in hell that somebody gets elected to the Nevada Supreme Court without being thoroughly vetted by the casino industry.
3) Nevada allows people like this to become judges https://abovethelaw.com/2009/12/former-judge-halverson-rolls-back-into-the-news/ |

Date: October 3rd, 2017 10:29 AM Author: amethyst hot idea he suggested Plaintiff's lawyer here: I wouldn't take this case. All sorts of problems.
1. What duty was breached? And to who? Do the maids owe a duty to everyone within a half-mile to search a guest's luggage when someone has like 10 bags? I'm guessing this isn't the only guy in the Mandalay who is comically overpacked, and for all we know, he left a few of those bags in his trunk until the day of.
2. Causation? Most of the time, intentional criminal acts are intervening causes unless the defendant was on notice that criminal activity of the same type was likely. The injuries were caused by an intervening criminal act which Defendant had no notice of.
3. Foreseeability (part of causation, but worth more) - How is the worst mass shooting in US history foreseeable?

Date: October 3rd, 2017 10:58 AM Author: amethyst hot idea he suggested No. Because once you take a client/case, you have the duty of zealous advocacy. Taking cases, writing demand letters, and then failing to follow up is a bad idea.
1. If you get that reputation in your community, nobody is going to take your demand letters seriously. Makes you have to work harder in the long term, because you will always have to file suit to get any serious settlement offer. This is 10x as true when you've got a case getting media coverage.
2. If you regularly dump clients after writing a demand letter, you're asking for a bar grievance.
I realize lots of shitlawlyers do that, but it's still a bad idea. |

Date: October 4th, 2017 9:15 PM Author: Zombie-like newt A shocked courtroom gasps as EPAH calls his surprise rebuttal witness Steve Wynn to the stand:
Others suggested that more could be done. Last year, Steve Wynn, the chief executive of Wynn Resorts and owner of some of the biggest casinos and hotels in the city, said Las Vegas was a “target city” because of the tens of millions of visitors who cram its streets, tourist attractions and hotels and casinos. In the past year, he said, he has installed unseen metal detectors and hired former Navy SEALs, F.B.I. and C.I.A. agents to work undercover in his Las Vegas properties.
“You know why we are a big target?” Mr. Wynn asked in an interview last year with KTNV, a Nevada television station. “This place is chock-full, in a relatively small place between Sahara and Tropicana, of all of those folks, and they regularly congregate at night in 10- and 20,000 bundles. This city is tempting for all of those reasons.”
