Hotel Accidents Attorney

Hotel accidents are unexpected but potentially devastating and life-changing. Hotels offer us various amenities near where we are vacationing, working, or traveling, and we expect that they offer us safe and appropriate accommodations. Often, a hotel will cut corners with staffing or maintenance obligations to increase profits. When victims are injured in a hotel accident such as a slip and fall, it can be frustrating and even confusing. It is common after you have been seriously injured for hotels and their insurance companies to blame you for their hotel accident. They will even say that hundreds if not thousands of people use their facilities every day and you were the only one hurt, so it is your fault. However, if hotels are cutting corners to make more money, how is that fair to you?

At Schlacter Law, we know that this blame is not fair, and we will not let hotels get away with their legally-required obligations. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients.

We offer a FREE consultation, and, if we accept your case, we may hire experts to investigate your claim to prove damages and liability against a negligent hotel owner or maintenance company. There is no risk to ask for our help because we only get paid when we recover compensation for you.

Hotel accidents should not happen if hotels and resorts have exercised their duty of care. Hotels have a special duty of care to guests to protect them from unnecessary harm. Hotels must maintain their facilities in a reasonably safe condition. Duty of care requires them to repair any known dangerous, hazardous, or harmful conditions. Hotels must also inspect their property for both visible and hidden defects. If a hotel finds any type of defect, it is obligated to repair it or block it off so guests cannot come into contact with it.

In addition to keeping the premises reasonably safe from defects, hotels also need to keep the premises reasonably safe from criminal activity, including fixing security devices and measures such as broken locks, doors that will not close, and open windows. When a hotel or resort fails to reasonably secure their premises to thwart criminal activity, they may be liable for criminal acts on innocent people.

When hotels neglect their security measures, innocent people on vacation or traveling for work could be seriously hurt or catastrophically injured. Hotels are ready for this scenario, though. Many facilities would rather pay big name insurance companies to defend claims rather than pay for costly repairs. Insurance adjusters for hotel accidents are specifically trained on how to trick victims into accepting less money by making them believe it is the victim’s fault or minimizing the victim’s injury. If you even say one thing wrong to these insurance companies, they may be able to permanently lower the value of your claim. Do not let this happen.

Do not let a trained insurance representative belittle your claim. You did not fall or get hurt on your own. The hotel’s negligence caused you to get hurt. Hire our hotel accident lawyer at Schlacter Law to aggressively fight for you. We accept cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay us when we collect compensation for your case.
