Some common examples of potential hotel hazards that could result in a hotel injury claim include the following: Damaged flooring - The carpet is frayed or ripped, or there are cracks or missing sections of flooring that increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Improper installation of casino gambling equipment - If casino gambling equipment (like slot machines) is not secured, it could fall on a person and cause injuries. Swimming pool hazards - The pool or pool area is not well maintained, there is no signage warning of hazards or dangers, the deck is extremely slippery, there are no life preservers, etc. Parking lot hazards - The parking lot lacks sufficient lighting, repairs, and maintenance. Bathtubs and shower hazards - There are no grab rails, or they lack anti-slip flooring. Lack of hotel maintenance - The hotel is in a state of disrepair, which increases the risks of accidents and injuries. Improper food handling practices - Food obtained from hotel restaurants causes food poisoning because it is not being handled or stored correctly. Elevator and escalator hazards - The elevators and escalators are not adequately maintained, lack proper certification, etc. Exposure to toxic substances - This includes hazardous chemicals, mold, mildew, etc. In addition, there are also cases where guests have been assaulted by hotel and resort staff or by other guests. In these situations, you could either have a premises liability claim or a personal injury claim. For example, the hotel bar staff overserve a guest when they are obviously drunk. The drunk guest assaults you and causes you injuries. Since the hotel bar staff’s actions contributed to the assault, you could have a premises liability claim against the hotel and a personal injury claim against the drunk guest.
