A woman is suing a Las Vegas hotel-casino for injuries she claims were sustained when an elevator fell 22 stories.
Rebecca Keith Wood filed a civil suit in Clark County District Court against the Palms hotel-casino, the Palms Place condominiums and Otis Elevator Company alleging the parties were negligent in maintaining and inspecting elevators on the premises. Wood is suing for financial compensation in excess of $15,000 for general and specific damages in addition to attorney’s fees.
Neither Palms Casino Resort nor its listed attorney responded to a request for comment.
Wood originally filed suit on March 3, naming Palms hotel-casino and its listed owners, FP Holdings L.P., Otis and TK Elevator Corporation as defendants. On March 14, TK Elevator was voluntarily dismissed from the complaint. An amended complaint was filed March 20, with Palms Place named as a defendant.
