A Broward County woman has filed a negligence lawsuit against the Seminole Tribe of Florida doing business as Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino-Hollywood, alleging she slipped on liquid on the casino floor while working as a greeter during a Hard Rock Live concert.
The complaint was filed Sept. 10 in Broward County Circuit Court as Jeanne O’Grady v. Seminole Tribe of Florida d/b/a Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino-Hollywood, Case No. CACE-26-014731. Court records reviewed by the source show the case is assigned to Division 12 before Judge Keathan B. Frink.
What the complaint alleges happened at Hard Rock Hollywood
According to the complaint, the incident happened on May 2, 2025, at 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood. O’Grady alleges that when a Hard Rock Live performance ended, thousands of patrons were funneled through a single mass exit into a corridor that passed the sportsbook and opened onto the casino floor.
The suit claims the property did not assign enough personnel to direct or monitor the crowd or inspect walking surfaces. It also alleges the casino sold alcoholic beverages at Hard Rock Live and on the casino floor and allowed open containers along that route.
O’Grady alleges she stepped on a liquid substance, fell, and was taken by ambulance to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. The complaint says the casino had actual or constructive knowledge of the conditions and that spills and unattended crowds were recurring and foreseeable.
Claim history and current case status
The lawsuit says O’Grady submitted a Notice of Gaming Patron Tort Form to the tribe’s risk management department in Davie on June 24, 2025. According to the complaint, third-party administrator Tribal First acknowledged the claim in July 2025 and denied it on Oct. 31, 2025.
The complaint also says the tribe denied her workers’ compensation claim, stating the injuries did not arise out of and in the course of employment.
The suit brings a single count of negligence and seeks damages of more than $50,000, plus costs. Initial disclosures cited by the source list $136,884.90 in past medical charges, including $128,541.90 from Memorial Regional Hospital for a May 2 through May 6, 2025 admission that included surgery on May 3, 2025.
As of the reviewed docket, the case was newly filed and active, with no hearings scheduled and no disposition entered. A defense response was not noted in the source materials.
