MASHANTUCKET, Conn. — A former Springfield dentist forced to retire after a 2016 fall at Foxwoods Resort Casino has won a $1.3 million settlement.

Gary Goodman slipped on “an accumulation of a liquid substance” while walking on the casino’s Grand Pequot concourse near Dunkin’ Donuts, attorney James Harrington of Waterford, Conn., told The New London Day.

Casino surveillance footage was a major factor in the outcome of the case in Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Court, he said.

The footage from June 28, 2016 showed a liquid, probably water, had been dropped by a casino patron and was ignored by multiple employees who failed to clean it up for some 20 minutes when Goodman slipped on it, Harrington said.

Goodman fractured his lower left leg, tore tendons and dislocated his left ankle, which was permanently impaired, his lawsuit against Foxwoods stated.
