The most common causes of accidents in a resort or hotel accident cases include the following :

SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS

Slip and fall accidents happen when a guest falls over some slippery substances. Under premises liability law, an injured guest can demand compensation for their injuries.

Hotel owners have the responsibility to shoulder the injured guest’s medical expenses. Depending on the fall, a slip accident can cause serious injuries to the back. This can result in spinal cord injuries and other blunt force trauma damages.

A slip and fall accident is usually caused by negligent hotel management. Hotel maintenance personnel should put up a wet floor sign to prevent this type of accident.

POOL ACCIDENTS

Swimming pool accidents are usually associated with drowning. Drowning happens for several reasons. But, mostly, it’s either from lack of swimming ability or lack of swimming pool supervision.

Swimming pool accident victims have the right to file premises liability claims if they drown due to lack of pool supervision. Every resort owners have the responsibility to ensure the safety of their hotel guests.

CRIMINAL ACTS

Property owners have the responsibility to create a safe atmosphere for their guests. Because of this, they should ensure that their establishment has adequate safety measures to fend off crimes.

Criminal acts such as theft and assault can happen inside an unsupervised establishment. A property owner can prevent this by setting up security cameras to track people’s movements. They can track down any suspicious person and prevent crimes from happening. They should also appoint security personnel who will do routine checks around the property.

A hotel guest should be adequately secured inside a hotel. Any accidents occurring inside the property are a liability to the hotel owner.

AUTO ACCIDENTS

A car accident can happen inside a private property. One example of this accident is parking space accidents. Accidents inside a parking lot happen due to a lack of adequate spaces.

Negligent drivers also disrupt parking lot safety. When a driver doesn’t practice reasonable care, they are more likely to hit another car or a person. Every driver, whether in the roadway or parking spaces, has the duty of care.

Car accidents inside a parking lot can be pretty tricky because three parties are involved in this type of incident: the victim, the at-fault driver, and the owner of the property.

The court will determine the liable party after a thorough investigation of liability laws.

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Other hotel recreational activities can also cause personal injuries. One common example of this is hot tub accidents. Hotel guests can slip and fall in a slippery hot tub. Other injuries associated with hot tubs are heat overexposure.

Defective hotel furniture can also cause physical injuries. Hotel employees and management should ensure that their furniture is in top condition before a guest can use them. Defective stairways and baloney railings can also cause unwanted accidents.

Neglected mattresses can be a breeding ground for bed bugs. Part of hotel maintenance should include occasionally checking hotel rooms for bugs or any other pests.

Poor lighting is also a leading factor in hotel-related accidents. Limited vision from dark places can lead to accidents. Also, defective lighting can cause a fire if not taken care of immediately.
