Can You Sue a Hotel for Injuries on Their Property?
Checking into a hotel is usually a simple transaction. Whether it’s for vacation, a work conference, or a break in a long road trip, you have likely researched the company, the location, and more. You trust your hotel to keep you and your belongings safe, and not just when inside your room.
If you have been injured on hotel property due to the negligence of the company or their staff, you may be entitled to hold them accountable for your damages. With the help of a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney from NK Law Group, we can help investigate your accident and determine whether or not your sustained injuries or property damage is the direct result of the hotel’s recklessness and whether you are able to file a personal injury claim with their insurance for compensation.
Can You Hold a Hotel Accountable for an Injury on Their Property?
Hotels are built of many moving parts and people, making injury a real possibility. Common examples of injuries sustained on the premises may include:
- Slip-and-falls
- Trip-and-falls
- Roof collapse
- Injury due to lack of security
- Broken elevator
- Product liability accident
You cannot control the actions of others, and when their breach of care results in your injury or property damage, you have the right to hold them accountable. For example, if there is a spill or slippery floor by the check-in desk, the hotel and staff must make the area safe and walkable as soon as possible. If they fail to address the situation and you are injured in a slip-and-fall accident, this is considered a direct breach of their expected standard of care. In this event, your injury sustained on hotel premises allows you to sue for damages.
How a Dedicated Attorney Can Help
Don’t try to navigate the aftermath of your accident without the professional guidance of an experienced attorney. With our team on your side, you can focus on recovering from your experience while we immediately get to work on your case. This will begin with an investigation into the circumstances surrounding your accident. We will work swiftly to collect any time-sensitive information to be potentially used as evidence of negligence on behalf of the hotel. Depending on the accident, this information can vary but will typically include interviewing any eyewitnesses and gathering security footage if possible.
With this information, we can file a claim against the hotel and their insurance company for damages. We will ensure all of the necessary documentation is included in your claim and will negotiate with the insurance company for you to recover an adequate settlement offer worthy of your losses. This will include both economic and non-economic damages, meaning compensation for your past, present, and future medical bills, any lost wages due to the inability to work, scarring, disfigurement, and any resulting emotional trauma.
