Can I sue a hotel for an injury?
A vacation is supposed to be a time when you could relax and put your mind at ease. Many people do months and months of research to find the perfect hotel to stay in. But what happens if you are injured at a vacation rental/ hotel or a motel? Could you file a lawsuit against them?
Unfortunately, accidents are bound to happen. Many may take several precautions, but at the end of the day, there’s still the possibility of an accident occurring during a vacation. Hotels/motels have a common responsibility to provide a safe environment for their guests and visitors. The law outlines what type of responsibilities this may be, and how the hotel could potentially violate this level of responsibility to their hotel guests. If you or a loved one have been injured in the hotel, contact us immediately to determine if you have a claim against the hotel. Our hotel attorneys will file a lawsuit against the hotel/motel, and pursue your claims for you to make sure you get maximum compensation for your injuries.
Hotel injuries could have very drastic consequences. For example, a slip-and-fall accident in a hotel could result in broken bones and even brain injury. Not only does the victim have to endure physical pain, but they oftentimes also go through emotional trauma such as depression and anxiety.
