FLORIDA HOTEL PREMISES LIABILITY – UNDERSTANDING THE APPLICATIONS

Premises liability law for hotel owners revolves around defining the responsibility of hotels, motels, and resorts to ensure the safety of their guests. For example, if a hotel fails to properly take care of its grounds, such as failing to fix uneven pavement in a parking lot, then the hotel may have committed a breach of its duty of care to its patrons. If an injury occurs due to this breach of duty, the hotel owner may be held responsible for the injuries.

When you check into a hotel, you expect that your safety and health will not be put at risk. You are here to have a good time with your family. When an accident happens, this means the hotel breached that duty of care and caused your injury. While some injuries can be healed, others will require a complete change of lifestyle. Colson Hicks Eidson has 40 years of experience fighting for accident victims caused by negligent hotel staff.
