When you stay at a hotel or resort as a guest, it is generally expected that the facility has received regular inspections and does not pose any unnecessary safety risks for those on the premises. However, accidents still occasionally occur in these facilities regardless of necessary inspections, and in some cases the property owner may be legally liable for injuries sustained by a guest on the property. If you’ve been injured in an accident due to the negligence of a hotel or resort, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Here are some common hazards at hotels and resorts:
– Resort grounds – Negligence on resort grounds include slippery floors, inadequate security (interior or exterior), and failure to place proper warning signs for existing hazards. – Rides/attractions on premises – Injuries can result from improper/inadequate maintenance or poorly-trained personnel. A resort may also be liable for hiring or retaining negligent independent contractors in some cases. – Transportation – Hotel/resort guests are commonly provided transportation via vans, buses, and shuttle services, and the facility may be liable for injuries when these vehicles are not properly repaired, inspected, or maintained.
To earn compensation for an accident at a hotel or resort, you need a dedicated personal injury attorney to establish that the facility owed you a legal duty of care; this duty of care was breached; the breach directly resulted in the accident; and you have suffered injuries and/or losses resulting from the accident.
