Settlement In MGM Resort Electric-Shock Case That Severely Injured Young Girl

The lawsuit filed by the family of a girl who suffered a massive brain injury after she grasped an electrified handrail at the MGM National Harbor resort last year has been “fully resolved,” according to court documents.

Court filings submitted Nov. 7 in Prince George’s County Circuit Court show all parties agreed to dismiss the case but do not detail the terms of a settlement or what, if any, monetary damages the family of 8-year-old Zynae Green received.

The dismissal of the lawsuit comes almost a year and a half after Zynae was injured by a lighted handrail that was improperly wired and installed at the resort and casino, engineering investigators found.

MGM spokeswoman Debra DeShong referred questions about the resolution to Green family attorney Benedict Morelli and would not comment further. Morelli did not respond to repeated messages.
