Summary
In this trial, Nissim Morami alleges he suffered an electrical shock from an iron in the MGM Grand Hotel. Morami eventually required a below-knee amputation on his right leg.
Morami claims that the MGM Grand failed to ensure the safety of the electrical system after working on a nearby jacuzzi, leading to the electrocution and the eventual loss of his leg due to infection. While there was a gap of time between the alleged electrocution and the amputation, Morami's representatives attribute this to the progressive nature of electrocution injuries.
Representatives for the MGM Grand claim that Morami was not electrocuted, asserting he only experienced a thermal event. They assert that the amputation of Moramis leg was due to cancer he had in the same foot as a child.
