East St. Louis Illinois Casino Queen was sued by a customer who allegedly suffered injuries while escaping over a wall after bandits shot up the venue during a hold-up two years ago.

I doubt she'll win her case, but it would be interesting if she did. Businesses aren't liable for the actions of criminals (except in Wisconsin for businesses that post a no-gun sticker), and she voluntarily chose to climb a wall to escape them and injured herself doing so.

 

Even if a judge and jury somehow finds the business liable, I'd expect most businesses would just increase the amount of insurance they carry, not hire a security force. Insurance is cheaper.
