A Bakersfield, California, woman was awarded a $15 million judgment in a negligence lawsuit filed against MGM Resorts International and The Cosmopolitan in Clark County District Court.
A verdict form signed Monday before District Judge Eric Johnson said a jury signed off on awarding Deborah Fenton $261,751 for past medical expenses, $976,614 for future medical expenses, $1.4 million for “past physical pain, mental pain, suffering, anguish, disability and lost enjoyment of life” and $12.3 million for future pain and suffering.
The lawsuit initially was filed April 20, 2023.
According to the lawsuit, Fenton was a guest at The Cosmopolitan and went to the property’s Chandelier Bar on Sept. 24, 2021, and slipped and fell “due to an unsafe and dangerous condition on the property, specifically water and glass.”
