A California man suing a railroad company and Las Vegas casino alleges the companies failed to prevent him from accessing railroad tracks where he was hit by a train, leading to two partial amputations.
The lawsuit filed Dec. 26 by Ryan Pettway against Boyd Gaming Corp. and the Union Pacific Railroad Corp. alleged negligence after Pettway accessed railroad tracks near Main Street Station in downtown Las Vegas through an unrepaired hole in a fence in 2023.
Boyd spokesperson David Strow wrote in an email that the company does not comment on pending litigation and did not say whether the fence hole referred to in the lawsuit had been repaired.
Joshua L. Benson, Pettway’s attorney, wrote in an email that he was unavailable to provide comment on the lawsuit.
