Woman's son claims Las Vegas Trump hotel's revolving door caused her to fall and later die
A lawsuit filed in Nevada last week says Trump Hotel Las Vegas was negligent in failing to prevent her death after a revolving door allegedly struck her and caused a fall.
The fall caused unspecified but severe and permanent injuries that required ongoing and extensive treatment, the suit alleges. On Oct. 14, 2024, Truschke died "due to complications from her injuries" that stemmed from the hotel's alleged negligence, it said.
She was 78 at the time of her death, it said.
It alleges the revolving door was not in compliance with laws and regulations and was in a dangerous state at the time. The hotel should have been aware it "was not working properly," according to the suit.
The suit said that at the time of her fall, she was a patron of Trump Hotel Las Vegas, a 64-story high-rise that opened in 2008 with lodging and condominiums at the north end of the city’s famed Strip.
The suit seeks damages for medical and funeral expenses, as well as damages for pain and suffering.
