Hotel falls happen more often than you think. Sometimes it's a slip on a wet floor, sometimes it's from tripping over an object that was left on the ground. In any case, there are always legal implications. Hotels are required to maintain a safe environment for guests. If they fail to do so, and someone falls, they can sue the hotel for negligence.
The person who is suing will need to show that the hotel was negligent in maintaining their property. In other words, they were not doing what they should have been doing to keep their guests safe.
