What Types of Resort Accidents Happen Commonly in California?
There are many popular resorts throughout California, including Bahia Resort, Catamaran Resort and Spa, The Meritage Resort and Spa, and more. These resorts offer spectacular opportunities to enjoy time away from home, as well as activities that can help you receive stress and appreciate time with your loved ones. However, there are also many types of accidents that happen at resorts each year in California.
Resorts benefit from having many visitors, which is why they are located in prime vacation areas throughout the state. Though property owners are supposed to keep these sites safe and secure, accidents still happen yearly in these areas due to negligent reasons. Some examples of accidents that commonly occur at California resorts include:
- Accidents in and around swimming pools, such as slips or drownings
- Frayed carpeting or uneven walking surfaces
- Trips or falls on poorly-maintained sidewalks and in parking lots
- Insect infestations
- Unsafe balconies that can lead to falls
- Inadequate security that leads to assaults and thefts in parking lots and inside resorts
When you spend money to stay at a California resort either by yourself or with family, you expect that you will receive the best care. This includes being protected from any harm that can happen on a resort property.
Can I Sue a Resort After I Have Been Injured?
If you have been injured in an accident at a resort, it is crucial that you understand your legal options moving forward. Every resort in California understands that it owes a legal duty of care to guests who visit the property. This is why they are expected to keep resorts safe from any hazards and remedy hazards as they appear.
If you believe that a resort, an employee, a negligent guest, or any other party has caused your accident and injuries on a resort property, there are legal options available for you. It is important to note that filing an insurance or personal injury claim against a resort is not always easy, however. These large resorts typically have big-name insurance companies and attorneys who are prepared to defend them and their reputation at any cost.
Because it can be challenging to face one of these claims, it is important that you speak with a skilled and resourceful attorney soon after your accident. At Maison Law, we have a team of experts in reconstruction who can take a closer look at your claim and help you determine liability and what led up to your accident.
