MGM-Mirage as Plaintiff will Sue
Monte Carlo, owned by MGM-Mirage, is going to feel the pain of injury from the recent fire. This is Super Bowl weekend and the pain will be felt in dollars. Dollars the Monte Carlo will not make on sports betting, gambling and other gaming revenue.
So when the headline today in the Las Vegas Review Journal read "MONTE CARLO FIRE: Officials: Workers at fault" the reality that a roofing company caused the fire was learned. The Monte Carlo is closed for the Super Bowl Weekend.
I began to wonder how long it would take for the MGM-Mirage lawyers to cry like a whiny plaintiff injured by someone else's fault. Cry out for "justice" for being damaged the amount they would have earned in revenue over the Super Bowl weekend. To circle the wagons against the "at-fault" roofing company and their insurance company to recover their "losses." WIll it take years? I think not.
Then I thought of the very real case I am currently representing a very injured man in where the MGM is a defendant and simply has no use for justice. The case is a matter of public record and can be seen at: http://courtgate.coca.co.clark.nv.us:8490/DistrictCourt/asp/SearchPartyResults.asp?SearchLevel=0001&LastName=hechtkopf&FirstName=&MidInit=&CaseSubType=**&PartyType=**
I think is very interesting how the chamber of commerce, big business, and the hotel industry can pay to get Judges elected/appointed to stamp out the efforts of trial lawyers, while at the same time using those lawyers to sustain justice when one of thier constituents causes the other harm. Interesting indeed.
One only needs read Grisham's latest "The Appeal" to appreciate the reality.
