Maison Law provides a free case evaluation to all victims of accidents at Hilton Hotels and Resorts across California. It’s a no-risk, no-obligation way to learn about the benefits available to you. The owners and operators of Hilton must take responsibility when unsafe conditions at their hotels cause someone to get hurt. You can speak to a real lawyer to go over how much your injury may be worth and learn how to hold a hotel chain fully accountable.
What Type of Hazards Must I Look Out For When Staying at a Hilton Hotel?
Hilton operates around three dozen high-end Hilton Hotels in California, mostly in Southern California and the Bay area. Hilton Worldwide also operates nearly 500 other locations in California under names like Double Tree, Embassy Suites, and Hampton Inn. Their resorts are also well-known up at Lake Tahoe, in Palm Desert, and along Avila Beach.
There’s plenty of space for adventure, but these big locations also carry the risk of accidents and injuries. Especially if Hilton decides to cut costs and the expense of guest safety and security. Victims can be hurt by design flaws in their rooms or extremely hot water coming out of the showers. They can take devastating falls in cluttered hallways, near the pool, or anywhere on the grounds.
These are just a few of the ways people get hurt every year in hotels:
- Pool Hazards – All Hilton pools must be safe for use with proper chemical treatment, but not enough to cause burns on skin. Lifeguards who are properly trained must be available when required. Safety equipment must provided. Pool maintenance must be done routinely so drains, pumps, and broken cement can’t injure swimmers.
- Slip-and-Fall Accidents – A soft drink spilled on the tile or a puddle left near an ice machine must be mopped up. Workout areas and restaurants must be free from tripping hazards. Parking lots must be free of potholes that could catch someone’s foot and cause a fall on a knee.
- Stairwell Hazards – Stairs must be monitored for loose railings and steps. Those major accidents must be repaired. Debris and spills can’t be allowed to sit on steps.
- Carbon Monoxide Leaks – People tragically die in CO poisoning cases in hotels each year. CO gas can build up in rooms from car exhaust and gases built up from furnaces and other machinery.
- Bed Bug and Virus Prevention – People can become sick after a bed bug bite. Guests might also come down with an illness if a bathroom isn’t fully cleaned or bed sheets aren’t changed.
- Burns – Occupants have suffered burns from electrical outlets, exposed wiring, from overheated water, and other sources.
- Negligent Security – Hotel staff must warn you about a crime threat in the area. They must secure doors to stop unauthorized visitors from entering. Security cameras, lights, and alarms must be kept in working order. Security guards should be posted and trained properly. If you are the victim of an assault, the hotel can be held accountable.
If these or other preventable hazards cause you or a family member to get hurt, your California Hotel Accident Injury Lawyer is your safeguard. Big companies and corporations can be held liable, but they’ll fight hard to avoid having to accept blame. Their corporate lawyers will take action to convince you to accept less than you need to pay for recovery. They could also attempt to get you to accept fault for what happened. Make sure your lawyer is handling these tactics for you. Your lawyer backs your case with evidence to make sure large companies like Hilton aren’t let off the hook. Your Maison Law representative turns the tables and demands the most in compensation available.
Can I Sue Hilton After Suffering an Injury After a Hotel?
Hilton Worldwide nets plenty of profit each year, but under California Law, they must do more for guests than simply swipe their credit cards and hand over room key cards. Under premises liability laws any business that opens its doors to the public must show a “duty of care” to guests and visitors.
This duty requires staff members to monitor the grounds, the parking lots, workout rooms, and common areas for spills and other obstacles that other guests can drop or leave behind. These dangers must be cleaned up or repaired before someone comes along and gets hurt. Hotels are also responsible for protecting guests from construction crews and contractors when features are being upgraded.
Hilton Worldwide can be held fully liable for your recovery costs, but their insurance adjusters and lawyers will try to limit the support you receive. Maison Law believes you should have all the money you need to pay for the best care available and to support your family while you must be away from work.
Our personal injury lawyers file injury claims and seek the maximum in benefits for your family. If Hilton’s settlement offer isn’t what you’ll need to rebuild your life, we aren’t afraid to file a lawsuit and take a major company before a judge and jury. The threat of a trial often forces companies to make a fair offer to those hurt by a hotel’s negligence.
What Type of Things Can Be Compensated After an Accident at a Hotel?
Your lawyer makes sure every hardship you and your family have endured becomes the burden of the hotel and its owners. Your attorney also demands consideration for any medical care you could need in the years ahead.
An injury can flare up or require additional surgeries and physical therapy. That likelihood 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, Hilton 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
