A man is suing Trump International Hotels after he claimed his mother died from injuries she sustained from being “violently ejected” from a revolving door at the hotel’s Las Vegas location in 2023.

Diana Truschke, 78, was visiting Las Vegas in March 2023 as an “invited guest and patron” of the hotel, but was injured when she entered the building’s revolving door, according to the lawsuit filed last week and cited by Fox affiliate KVVU. The door sped up its rotation while Truschke was inside and she was struck in the back, the lawsuit alleges.

Truschke was “violently ejected” and thrown several feet, hitting the sidewalk face first, the suit said, as reported by CBS affiliate KLAS-TV, citing the lawsuit. Despite receiving medical treatments, Truschke’s health deteriorated and she died on Oct. 14, 2024, “due to complications from injuries.”

Truschke’s lawsuit claims the hotel staff should have known that the revolving door was not working properly and informed guests, according to the outlet.

The lawsuit accuses Trump International Hotels of negligence; negligent hiring, training and supervision; and wrongful death, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Truschke’s son is now seeking damages in excess of $15,000 for several claims including loss of comfort and companionship, emotional pain and economic hardships.

Trump International Hotels in Las Vegas did not immediately respond to HuffPost when reached out for a comment on Truschke’s son’s allegations. An attorney for the hotel was not listed in the court records reviewed by HuffPost.
