Shower Curtain At Air BNB or Hotel Causing Slip And Fall Injury Attorney

It is not enough to simply claim that the shower curtain was too short and failed to keep the shower water in the tub. Instead, your DTLA Law Group slip and fall injury lawyer will need to prove the owner’s negligence by showing that:

• The property owner or hotel management caused the defect in the shower curtain, for example, by installing the rod too high
• The property owner or hotel management knew about the shower curtain being too short but did not correct it or warn guests of the hazard
• The hotel manager or property owner was unaware of the shower curtain being too short because they failed to inspect the property and check the area carefully enough to notice the problem

You are now thinking that no hotel manager or owner of an Air BNB cleans the shower after each guest leaves, which could be very true. However, anyone who works for the hotel manager or the Air BNB owner is working on behalf of the management and should take action to prevent hazards. If they do not, the owner or manager is liable and can face a lawsuit for their negligence or staff negligence.

Sadly, slip and fall accidents in bathrooms, specifically in showers and bathtubs, tend to result in significant injuries. In most cases, the floor space is minimal, and the area is filled with large items like the tub, shower, and vanity counter that can cause severe injuries if you fall on or into them. Even a slight loss of balance when exiting the shower or tub can result in:

• A concussion
• Traumatic brain injury
• Brain bleed
• Cracked skull
• Spinal cord damage
• Shattered vertebrae
• Internal organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Broken bones
• Dislocated joints
• Facial injuries
• Puncture injuries
• Lacerations
• Soft tissue damage
• Nerve damage

While all these injuries sound painful and severe, it is crucial to understand that many can lead to fatalities if not treated quickly by medical professionals. If you have suffered a slip and fall injury at a hotel or Air BNB due to a short shower curtain, seek immediate medical care. A comprehensive evaluation is vital to ensure that you have no hidden injuries that could be life-altering or life-threatening.

After you have seen a doctor and been cleared to return to the hotel or Air BNB, it is time to gather the information that will be beneficial if you move forward with a lawsuit. The medical team should have documented your injuries, including images. Be sure to get a copy of all information regarding your injuries. Also, take photos of the shower and the short shower curtain. Running the water to show it leaking on the floor can be helpful if someone can safely assist you in recreating the wet, slippery floor. Keep all documents from your hotel or Air BNB stay, including any accident reports completed by you, the staff, or other guests who might have come to your aid. Finally, contact DTLA Law Group to learn more about how our skilled experts can help you secure the compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical bills, and other losses from the slip and fall exiting the shower.

In California, injury victims have two years from the date of the incident to file a claim for injuries suffered at a hotel or Air BNB under premises liability. However, you need to understand that the sooner you contact DTLA, the faster we can gather evidence and documentation to support your claim. In addition, in many cases, hotel staff leaves their job or management changes before a lawsuit is filed, and it can be much more challenging to complete the process. So seek legal help sooner rather than later to avoid unnecessary challenges and a longer time to complete the settlement process.

With that in mind, there is no predetermined time to complete a slip and fall injury lawsuit.
