Casino employee denied workers comp after falling out of office chair
Cy Ryan, the Las Vegas Sun:
A casino worker injured when he fell out of his chair while trying to prop his feet on the desk has lost a round in his bid to collect worker’s compensation insurance payments.
The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled there was insufficient evidence for Gary Mogg, an “eye in the sky” at the Fitzgeralds Casino-Hotel, to qualify for industrial insurance payments.
…
Mogg was a surveillance agent assigned to monitor 38 television screens to oversee the casino. While seated in the surveillance room at the casino, he started to put his legs on the corner of the desk to revive circulation. The chair tipped and he was thrown to the floor. He maintained the chair was defective.
