A California man filed a negligence lawsuit against a major Las Vegas casino operator and a national railroad company, alleging their failure to secure access to active train tracks led to a severe accident that resulted in the partial amputation of both of his legs.
The complaint, filed December 26 in Clark County civil court by Ryan Pettway, claims that Boyd Gaming Corp. and Union Pacific Railroad Corp. neglected to repair a hole in a fence behind the Main Street Station hotel-casino in downtown Vegas.
