Alice Swanson has been seeking compensation since 2007, when she tripped and fell.

She said the bump was too high, and a jury agreed.

Jurors decided the casino had failed to exercise reasonable care. They awarded Swanson $375,000 for past pain and suffering and $400,000 for future pain and suffering.

Harrah’s had appealed, saying the jury verdict should be overturned because of a lack of evidence.
