Jurors have sided with an Evansdale man in his lawsuit against a Waterloo casino where he was attacked by another patron in January 2021.
Attorneys for Montana Gunhus, 36, asked the jury for a $1.98 million verdict during closing arguments on Monday.
“The casino was gambling with the public’s safety,” said Jordan Talsma, who is representing Gunhus. “They will take your money, but they won’t protect you.”
In a verdict reached Monday afternoon, the jury awarded Gunhus $1.732 million. This included $32,314 for past medical expenses; $50,000 for past loss of mind and body; $550,000 for future loss of full mind and body; $100,000 for past pain and suffering and $1 million for future pain and suffering.
