One of the employees at this casino touched me inappropriately going to one of the casinos to my knowledge is the same company he works for.

Yes, you may have a claim. The first issue is whether the casino is on Indian reservation property , which would then possibly preclude your claim based upon sovereign immunity. If the casino was a private company, then the damages would be an issue. Your damages would depend upon the extent and severity of the assault. You should discuss your case with an attorney here in Florida fir possible contingency fee, which means you don't pay anything unless you win. You should act quickly, because this possibly is on videotape, and a preservation of evidence letter should be sent out immediately, so that they can preserve any video footage.
