ORANGE PARK, Fla. – News4JAX is reporting that a poker player is suing bestbet Orange Park Casino for failing to “keep him safe” after he won about $6,000 playing poker at the venue.
“Orange Park police said Karruah Parkinson was shot several times in the parking lot of bestbet Orange Park on November 23, 2022. Police said they found him in his car and rushed him to HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital.
Parkinson survived. Now two years later, he filed a negligent security lawsuit against bestbet.
Okoye Morgan is a personal injury attorney with The Black Law Company based out of Tampa. Morgan is representing Parkinson in this case and said bestbet did not provide adequate security.
‘Those facilities should have adequate security to protect its patrons,’ Morgan said. ‘We believe that the security was inadequate, and they owed our client a duty to protect him, and they failed.'”
