Los Angeles Hotel Lawsuit
Hotels have a duty to make sure that their property is inspected and cared for to prevent any accidents. When accidents occur, it is because the party was negligent. When filing a lawsuit against a hotel for your injuries, your experienced hotel accident attorney must have to prove the different elements of negligence. This includes:
- The defendant, also known as the party who is being sued, had a duty to make sure their property was maintained to prevent any foreseeable harm
- The defendant failed to maintain their property, and caused harm
- The defendant caused the plaintiff to suffer an accident
- The plaintiff now suffers injuries, such as medical bills
Under California law, hotels must constantly work with the Los Angeles County Public Works Department and the California Buildings Commission to make sure that their property is always up to code and safe for visitors.
Los Angeles Premises Liability Lawsuit
Other than filing negligence claims against the hotel, another legal claim you could file is a premises liability claim. A premises liability claim holds the property owner responsible for any injuries suffered on their property. In order to prove your premises liability claim, your top-rated attorney must show:
- The hotel owner was aware of a safety hazard
- The hotel owner failed to correct a safety hazard or to warn guests of the hazard
It is very important to hire an experienced hotel accident attorney. Our top-rated accident attorneys have decades of experience representing injured victims. We understand that no two hotel accident cases are alike, and so we provide our individualized approach to each legal claim.
What should I do after a hotel accident?
After being involved in a hotel accident, the next steps you take are very crucial when filing a lawsuit. Failing to take a necessary step could potentially cause you to lose your entire case. Our attorneys advise that you:
- Seek medical care immediately. Hotel accidents could cause very severe injuries, and could require immediate medical attention. For example, one of the most common types of severe injuries caused by slip and fall accidents are traumatic brain injuries. Traumatic brain injuries are not initially detectable, and require medical care.
- Report the accident to the hotel owners. Usually, hotels have a safety standard in place where an accident report is drawn up by one of their employees.
- Take photos of where the accident occurred.
- Gather as much information as possible regarding the accident, such as taking down witness information and guest information.
- Collect your medical records and any accident reports.

When should I file my hotel accident lawsuit In California?
Each state has a different statute of limitations law that determines when a plaintiff could file their accident claim.

That is why it is very important to meet with a hotel accident attorney immediately after suffering any type of hotel accident.
