If injured as a result of negligence, which in any way involves either of the two casinos, it is imperative that you speak with a CT tribal attorney immediately. Failing to adhere to these requirements can result in a claim being barred without any recourse. For example, in most cases a lawsuit must be filed 1 year from the date of the accident at the CT casino and some actions carry a requirement that notice be given to the tribe within just 60 days. The laws and statutes of limitation imposed by tribal law are more restrictive than state law. Unlike state actions, tribal actions regularly involve a complicated mix of tribal, state, and federal law.

Only personal injury attorneys licensed in tribal court may bring such claims. Generally, if a person is injured as a result of negligence while at the casino, a claim may have to be brought in tribal court. James has handled over 100 lawsuits against Mohegan and Foxwoods casinos including the landmark U.S. James Harrington of Polito and Harrington practices in Connecticut’s two casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, which have independent tribal court systems.
