Information provided by an Orlando Personal Injury Lawyer from  McBride, Scicchitano & Leacox, P.A.

If you've had a hotel injury, call 1-800-978-1986 or send us an email for help.

Have you been injured while visiting a hotel? Perhaps you are vacationing with your family or you are in the middle of an important business trip. An unattended power cord, standing water on a slippery surface or an overly-hot buffet can lead to trips, slips and burns. Hidden hazards, improper safety regulations and uninspected elevators or machinery may lead to serious injuries or wrongful death.

Responsibility of Hotels

Because their property invites the public, hotels must:

  • Provide a danger-free environment
  • Test and maintain emergency and fire equipment
  • All entrances and exits must be free from obstruction
  • Prevent access to areas which are off-limits to guests
  • Exercise reasonable care when overseeing the safety of guests

Preventing Hotel Injuries/Death

Hotels may be “vicariously liable" for the negligent conduct of their employees and have a duty to:

  • Provide adequate training to insure that all employees are aware of and adhere to safety protocols
  • Require licensing of employees who deal with food preparation, security or facility machinery
