Hotel Accident

Bellhop hand about to ring front desk bell.

Much like any business, hotels must protect their invitees. Spending hundreds to rest peacefully during long road stints means guests should be able to freely walk, enjoy pool time or any other amenity offered by a hotel. Compass Law Group, LLP’s hotel accident attorney whom themselves have stayed in hotels, understand premises liability shouldered by motels, hotels, inns, bed & breakfast and even hostels.

Los Angeles Hotel Accident Attorney

From an accidental tumble down several slick stairs to falling in a slick shower, Los Angeles hotel accidents attorneys from our firm work meticulously to uncover truths regarding your accident, who was at fault, and what compensation victims could be entitled to.

Responsibilities Of Hotel Owners

Short of guest negligence, hotel owners are responsible for grounds, indoor structure and the safe usage of its amenities. Guests cannot simply bust their duff on an obviously loose tile and claim hotel liability; now if toilet runs over and guest slips and falls on the same tile, a liability claim could be made based off a known plumbing issue.

Before guests are assigned rooms, hotel managers or reasonably knowledgeable staff should inspect each room to make sure it’s compliant with building codes. Maintenance should regularly make rounds to assure that steps, pool ladders, saunas, steam rooms, and similar amenities are operational, safe to use and have an easy means of escaping should an emergency arise.

When hotel owners get lax enough to injure guests, Compass Law Group, LLP will be there to sue for any damages sustained.

Examples Of Hotel Negligence

Our skilled Los Angeles hotel accidents attorneys handle numerous hotel claims annually. With each case being formed based on its own merits, some common denominators which contribute to action being taken include:

  • Hotel owner failed to properly seal off pool area which had a drainage issue. A young child found their way into the pool area, broke their neck and became paralyzed.
  • Improper signage led to an elderly person slipping on wet tile, causing her to break both her hip and fibula.
  • Hotel’s own restaurant serves bad chicken, causing a widespread case of botulism. Half the persons eating there become deathly sick.
  • Degrading staircase to the second floor finally gave way, injuring several people walking up with luggage.

Obviously, there’s no hard and fast rule when litigating hotel accident cases. With facts, testimonies from witnesses and evidence we collect ourselves, we can determine whether you’re entitled to compensation or not.
