Hotel Liability in a Personal Injury Claim

Just like any other business or establishment, hotels are responsible for taking reasonable steps to look out for your safety as a guest.

When a hotel’s negligence is the cause of your injuries, you may be able to hold the hotel liable in a civil suit and recover financial compensation. Read on to learn more about hotel liability in a personal injury claim.

When Is a Hotel Liable for Your Injuries?

Hotels are tasked with ensuring the safety of their guests at all times while they remain on the hotel’s premises. This, among other things, means making sure that the facilities, installations, and even employees are pre-screened for safety.

When you suffer an injury at a hotel, it’s possible that you may be able to hold them liable for your injuries in a personal injury suit.

Getting compensation is never automatic, however. The hotel and its insurance provider will likely fight tooth-and-nail to make sure that the hotel doesn’t look bad or is forced to pay you a full settlement for your damages.

That’s why consulting an experienced attorney for help with your hotel liability case is vitally important. In addition to managing required paperwork and negotiating with the insurance company, a personal injury lawyer from The Nye Law Group can help you investigate your claim to prove these essential elements for hotel liability:

• The hotel breached its responsibility to ensure your safety.
• You suffered injuries.
• These injuries led to actual damages.

In cases involving the actions of a hotel employee, legal tenets such as vicarious liability—the idea of the hotel as a responsible entity for its employees’ actions—can also come into play.
