Do I Need a Lawyer After an Accident at a Hotel?
If you are seriously hurt in an accident caused by the negligence of a hotel owner or operator, it’s a wise idea to speak to a lawyer about your options. Especially if you can prove a hotel’s negligence was to blame.
After an injury like a broken ankle or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), your medical care could be very expensive. These rising costs should never be your responsibility. The protection of a California hotel accident lawyer may be a necessary precaution to ensure you secure the support needed to pay for a full recovery.
When insurance providers for hotel chains like Comfort Inn get involved, they’ll attempt to blame you for your accident or try to downplay your injury. If you don’t have a lawyer watching the insurer’s every move, they can get away with offering you far less than you need to get back on your feet. Your lawyer gets aggressive and demands every benefit available so you can rebuild your life.
Comfort Inn Accident Dangers and Liability
There are dozens of Comfort Inn and Suites across California. If you need a place to stay for the night, you’ll probably see that blue and gold sign along the next exit you come to. Most locations offer clean, comfortable rooms at a decent price, but when owners and operators get careless, guests can be put at risk of accidents.
Garbage left on a set of stairs might send you tumbling down to suffer a broken leg or a head injury. A puddle left near the ice machine could cause you to slip and fall and fracture a hip bone. A trip and fall into an unattended pool could leave you at risk of drowning. The dangers arise every day at a business with so much foot traffic.
These and other obstacles can all cause you or a loved one to get hurt:
- Slip-and-fall hazards
- Faulty stairwells and broken handrails
- Lack of safety devices and supervision at the pool
- Extremely hot water causing burns in bathrooms
- Burns and shocks from exposed wiring and faulty outlets
- Security risks and criminal threats
Who Can I Sue If I’m Hurt at a Comfort Inn?
Hotel owners and their employees are required to show a “duty of care” to anyone who is staying on their property. They must repair hazards and clean up messes before guests can come along unaware and suffer a fall, a burn, or any other type of injury. When Comfort Inn is negligent in these safety precautions and someone is hurt, victims can sue the company to earn support through recovery.
Comfort Inn is actually owned by Choice Hotels, one of the largest hospitality companies in the world. Victims suffering an injury at any of their locations are empowered to file accident claims and demand help in paying hospital bills and assistance with other damages they endure.
But Choice Hotels is a massive company with the money to afford teams of lawyers. It’s a good idea to have a lawyer on your side who can fully investigate what happened. Your Maison Law representative would collect the evidence necessary to block any attempt by Choice Hotel to try to blame you for your accident. Then your attorney seeks the maximum in compensation available for your family.
Common Injuries After Hotel Accidents and Recovery Compensation
A fall along a hotel corridor or exposure to a faulty outlet can cause traumatic injuries for victims. Victims may need immediate care to save their lives and should be rushed to the emergency room.
Emergency room doctors see these types of injuries after people have had many different types of accidents at places of business. These are a few of the most common ailments patients come in with:
- Head Injuries. Skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries occur when people fall and hit their heads. People can also be struck by flying objects or overhead objects to suffer a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
- Neck and spine injuries. Damage to the spinal cord and spinal structure in a fall can lead to disability, paralysis, and a diminished life expectancy.
- Dislocations and fractures in a fall that can require surgery. The results can be a loss of mobility and a permanent disability. A hip fracture is a common outcome of any type of fall.
- Burn wounds. According to Boston Children’s Hospital, a third-degree burn destroys the entire outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the layer below (dermis).
- Electrical damage can cause cardiac arrest, tissue damage, and thermal burns.
- Drowning and near-drowning accidents. Near-drowning victims might suffer a brain injury, cardiac arrest, and lung problems.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. Victims who survive can suffer long-term memory loss and have movement problems.
Economic Support for Hotel Injury Victims
Your personal injury lawyer makes every damage you endure after an accident at Comfort Inn receive consideration when determining how big a settlement check should be. You’ll need support to pay the medical bills you’ve already received and for the medical bills you may get in the future.
An injury can flare up or require additional surgeries and physical therapy years later. That very real potential outcome must earn additional support so victims don’t have to pay for future care out of pocket. If a disability results from a dangerous fall or an electrical shock at a resort, Choice Hotels may have to provide enough in support to last a lifetime.
Your Maison Law attorney demands these and other damages be included in any hotel accident settlement check:
- Present and future medical expenses related to your injury
- Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Physical therapy costs
- Wrongful death damages for families if a life has been taken
