Case Details
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against a New Orleans casino for allegedly failing to protect employees from secondhand smoke, filed by Denise Bevrotte on behalf of her deceased son Maceo Bevrotte Jr. The dismissal was on technical grounds, stating the claim should have been a Workers' Compensation claim rather than a wrongful death suit. Maceo died from leukemia after 15 years of exposure to secondhand smoke at Harrah's New Orleans hotel and casino.
