What Can Cause Hotel Accidents?

Hotel accidents can happen even when proper care is taken to address hazards. Unfortunately, lack of care significantly increases the risk and severity of injuries. These accidents can lead to broken bones, drowning injuries, electrocution, traumatic brain injuries, and other injuries.

Accidents in hotels can be caused by:

• Dangerous and defective products like appliances or furniture in hotel rooms
• Hazards in hallways, like cracked flooring and loose carpeting, causing slipping and tripping hazards
• Improper security on the property, causing increased crime
• Insufficient safety railings on stairways and balconies, causing falls
• Slippery floors and spills in hallways and around pools
• Improper lighting, causing tripping hazards
• No monitoring around pools, leading to drowning injuries
• Improper fencing around pools, leading to accidents
• Exposure to hazardous substances and chemicals
• Elevator breakdowns
• Unsecured objects falling on individuals
• Inadequate fire safety measures

What Damages Can You Recover in a Hotel Injury Claim?

The damages you can recover in a claim after a hotel injury will depend largely on the severity of your injuries. More serious injuries tend to result in higher financial costs and losses and impact you more personally. The damages that might be available include:

• Medical expenses, including existing bills, expected costs, and long-term care needs
• Lost income and benefits from the time you were recovering
• Lost earning capacity or loss of employment
• Property damage repair or replacement costs
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish
• Disability
• Disfigurement
• Scarring
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Many people underestimate the value of these losses. While it is often straightforward to add up the costs of your existing medical bills, it is harder to determine the likely long-term costs of the injury. It can also be difficult to know the fair value of pain and suffering damages. An attorney has significant experience in these calculations.
