The Connecticut player was awarded $1.325 million after settling a lawsuit against Foxwoods Resort Casino.

In 2016, then-56-year-old Gary Goodman slipped and fell on an "accumulation of liquid substance", resulting in a fractured left leg, torn tendons and a sprained ankle, according to the lawsuit. The injuries he sustained in the fall caused him to retire from his dental practice in Massachusetts.

The collapse was documented by casino security footage and Goodman's attorney called it "a very good capture of the event". The video showed a property visitor spilling a drink on the ground and several employees ignoring the liquid and failing to clean it up.

About 20 minutes later, Goodman slipped. He then filed a lawsuit against the property. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, the tribe that owns the casino, settled with Goodman without an actual trial.

According The Day, According to a newspaper based in the New London area, the seven-figure payout was far greater than most tribal court settlements as the Tribe caps 200% in damages.

Goodman claimed his damages were £600,000, which included medical expenses and lost wages. His lawyer, James Harrington, said if the trial had been held in a state court where there was no such restriction, the outcome "would be a completely different story."
