Hotel negligence
Under Nevada law, the property owner where the injury happened (hotels or resorts in this case) is responsible for damages suffered by the guest, often referred to as the invitee.
Time limits to bring a case
In Nevada, you have two (2) years to file a liability claim from an accident's date. It includes all hotel accident lawsuits.
Types of hotel accidents
Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accidents can happen in the hotel for various reasons, but most of the time, there is a hazardous condition on the hotel floor, and the hotel owner didn't put a warning sign in the area.
Negligent security: When staying in a hotel or any resort, you have certain safety and security expectations. If you were robbed, assaulted, injured, or raped on the hotel grounds because the hotel failed to protect its guests, you could sue for negligent security.
Parking lot/garage accidents: We helped many people injured in parking garage accidents in Las Vegas get fair compensation for their medical bills and other damages. If you expect the hotel owner's negligence caused your accident in a parking lot, call us.
Flying umbrellas: Flying umbrellas at a hotel pool, restaurant, coffee shop, or patio can pose a significant danger. Especially in crowded places, like the hotel pool area, flying umbrellas may hit individuals and cause injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe head trauma. If the flying umbrella hit and injured you at the Las Vegas hotel or vacation resort, you may sue the hotel for damages.
Hotel accident involving children: Overcrowded hotel pools, hot tubs, special music events, and game tournaments create increased risks for accidents for children. If your child got hurt in an accident at the hotel, you might have a liability claim against the hotel.
Elevator accidents: Malfunctioning elevator parts, faulty wiring, broken sliding doors, and improper leveling of the elevator and hallway floors could cause an elevator accident in the hotel. If you got injured in a hotel elevator accident and believe that your accident could have been prevented, call our office at 702-432-1000 to discuss your case.
Escalator accidents: Hotel owners are legally obligated to their customers to maintain an escalator and keep it safe. With questions about escalator accidents, call us at 702-432-1000 and ask to speak with our attorney, who handles hotel accident claims.
Swimming pool accidents: Usually, the carelessness of the swimming pool owner or people responsible for maintaining the pool and the pool area is a cause of a pool accident. If your accident in a hotel swimming pool or the hot tub resulted in a severe injury, you might have a valid claim for hotel accident compensation.
Falling down the stairs injury: Falling down the stairs at the hotel can be dangerous. Often, not enough lighting or poorly maintained stairs cause these accidents. Some of the falling down stairs accidents require expensive long-term medical treatment. If this happens to you, call our office and ask to speak with an attorney for hotel accidents.
Hotel security at large events: Las Vegas hotels employ many security guards for special events with large crowds. Security guards help to make the event traffic manageable and deal with troublemakers. Sometimes, things get out of hand; instead of de-escalating the conflict, security guards make it worse, and somebody gets hurt.
Hot water burns: If you got burned by hot water at the hotel, restaurant, bar, or cafe part of the hotel, you might be entitled to monetary compensation. Call our office and ask to speak with an attorney who handles hot water burns at the hotel.
Airport bus shuttles: Accidents at the airport bus shuttles operated by the hotel are also considered hotel accidents.
Wrongful death accidents: Call us if your family member died in a hotel accident in Las Vegas. When we know the facts surrounding the tragic event of this hotel accident, we can recommend to you what to do next.
What to do after the hotel accident
• First, get medical attention.
• Second, report the accident to the hotel management.
• Third, take many photos of the accident location and surrounding areas.
• Fourth, take pictures of your injuries.
• Fifth, record the eyewitness's information.
• Finally, contact a Las Vegas attorney who has experience handling hotel accident cases.
We invite you to call us.
If you were partly at fault
In Las Vegas and Nevada, injured accident victims can seek compensation even if they were less than 51% responsible for the accident. If the plaintiff was intoxicated, slipped, fell, and injured in the hotel lobby, bar, restaurant, or parking lot, the victim is "partially at fault." You still may get compensation, but it will be a reduced amount.
What is the average settlement after a hotel accident?
We often get a question, "What is the average settlement after a hotel accident?"
The "average" settlement may not apply to you because every case is different, and the facts surrounding your hotel accident could be different, too. Some hotel accident cases get a six-figure settlement and even more.
How much compensation do you get for a hotel accident injury?
It depends on how much medical treatment the injured person requires now and if they will need long-term care in the future. Wrongful death or permanent disability can lead to ten million-plus verdicts.
Do I need an attorney after a hotel accident?
When the accident resulted in only property damages (e.g., a parking lot accident where your car was damaged), but nobody was hurt, you can submit the claim for damages directly to the at-fault party insurance. But if you suffered an injury in a hotel accident and require expensive medical treatment, contact a hotel negligence attorney before speaking with any hotel insurance company.
