Admiralty Lawyer

A dealer on a floating casino who suffered debilitating flea bites is suing Casears Indiana under maritime law violations.  Lawyers for the plaintiff, Tina Condor, claim she is covered under the law because the casino is a boat.  Although the boat has rarely moved from its dock in six years, the Indiana Court of Appeals is hearing the case.

Condor suffered flea bites on her legs, arms, head and torso.  She took steroids to suppress her body’s reaction to the bites, which caused her to have two heart attacks as well.  Her lawsuit accuses Casears Indiana casino of negligence to maintain seaworthiness under the provisions of the Jones Act.

Casears Indiana casino’s lawyers argue that the ship no longer transports cargo or crew and therefore should no be considered a marine vessel.
