PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia woman has brought civil charges against global hospitality company MGM Resorts International (MGM) after she allegedly sustained injuries slipping on the floor at MGM's Borgata Buffet in Atlantic City.
According to a complaint filed Feb. 17 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Donnetta Holmes was dining at the buffet in February 2019 when she slipped on an unattended buttery surface on the floor.
The report states that the restaurant's management failed to warn diners of the slip hazard.
Holmes filed one count of premises liability negligence against the hospitality company, alleging MGM picked an improper flooring type for the premises and the probability of slip hazards, failed to monitor the floor for slip hazards and failed to place cautionary signs warning of the danger to diners like Holmes.
The plaintiff is seeking judgement against MGM for her injury damages, in addition to mental trauma and humiliation, for an amount in excess of $75,000. She is represented by Brown and Associates, P.C., of Philadelphia.
