Assault and Battery at Hotels and Motels

Did you suffer an assault and battery while at a hotel or motel? If so, you may have a case against the establishment. Whether the one making the assault was another guest, someone who shouldn’t be on the site, or an employee or manager of the hotel or motel, if the incident took place on the establishment’s grounds, they failed to keep you out of harm’s way.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in Hotel’s Resorts and Motels

Hotel and motels are breeding grounds for slips, trips, and falls. Some of the reasons behind slip and fall accidents are:

• Slippery surfaces
• Leaking water
• Unmaintained stairs
• Worn out carpet
• Failure to fix holes in the parking lot
• Failure to repair walkways
• Obstacles in the hall or parking lot
• Failure to remove ice and snow
• Building code violations
• Bathroom and shower accidents
• Leaking toilet accidents

When you go to a hotel or motel and pay for a stay, you expect the room and the rest of the property to be safe. It is unacceptable to think that through their negligence, you would become injured and even more ludicrous to think you’d be supposed to pay for the medical bills incurred because of the accident. We will fight for your right to receive compensation. Do not go it alone. If you don’t have legal experience, you won’t stand a chance.

Bed Bug Infestation at Hotels and Motels

Bed bugs are a common risk at hotels and motels. Once you’ve been bitten, it’s too late for preventative action. The damage is done. There is also the likelihood of you taking the bugs home with you and your house becoming infested. If you suffered injury due to bed bugs at a motel or hotel, you may be entitled to compensation. You can sue the establishment. We can help.

• Plumbing fixture issues
