Monarch Resort Hotel Accident Injury Attorney

Yes, you can sue the Monarch Resort if you suffered an injury due to a dangerous condition at the hotel. You can also receive compensation if you were sexually abused or physically attacked by one of their employees, or due to lack of security on the premises.

Your right to monetary compensation is based on the law of premises liability. Basically, owners of commercial and residential properties have a duty of care to prevent injuries to guests and visitors. Of course, not every accident is preventable, but owners (or those working for them) must take reasonable care to minimize the possibility of harm. For example, hotels should be free of spills and slippery substances on the floor that can lead to a slip and fall. The rooms should be cleaned and inspected on a regular basis to check for bed bugs and other pests. Hotel pools should be regularly supervised by a lifeguard to keep people from drowning or providing immediate assistance if they are in distress.

Failure to exercise reasonable care is the basis for a personal injury lawsuit, which we can help you with here at DTLA Law Group. To learn more about the process of suing the Monarch Resort, reach out to us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Claims for accidents at hotels can settled for $15,000 to $45,000 on the lower end, meaning your injuries are mild to moderate and you are expected to achieve full recovery with the right medical treatments. In the event you have more serious injuries that will cause long-term monetary losses, your case may be settled for anywhere from $75,000 to $500,000. If you have multiple, severe injuries that will cause permanent health complications (paralysis, brain damage, etc.), you may be awarded $1,000,000 to $3,000,000.

These figures are estimates, so please don’t rely on them as an accurate reflection of what you will receive from a Monarch Resort accident injury lawsuit. Our lawyers are here to help you figure out the amount that you are entitled to as a victim of negligence or misconduct, so call us right away to schedule a free case review.

Please note that personal injury lawsuits in California generally have a 2-year statute of limitations. That means you will need to sue the Monarch Resort no less than 2 years from when you had an accident on the premises. There are a handful of exceptions that can allow a victim additional time to file a lawsuit, but most people will end up losing the right to monetary damages if they are past the time limit of 2 years.

One exception exists for sexual abuse incidents, which has a 10-year statute of limitations if you are an adult (18 years or older). If you were a sexually assaulted as a minor at the Monarch Resort, you have 22 years following your 18^th birthday, i.e., up until you are 40 years old, to sue the hotel.

You can also base the deadline for a lawsuit on the discovery of injury or illness associated with childhood sexual abuse. This is based on the tendency for children to suppress incidents of physical and sexual abuse because they are confused about what happened or feel guilty and ashamed. That’s why the harm that’s caused by sexual abuse, like PTSD, anger issues, and depression, may not be understood by the victim for many years. If a childhood sexual abuse victim is past 40 years of age at the time of realization, they have 5 years to file a lawsuit under the terms of the discovery rule.

Since figuring out the deadline for a lawsuit can be complicated, we suggest that you contact us and let one of our legal experts verify the exact amount of time you have for a Monarch Resort accident claim.

How long it takes to settle a hotel accident case will vary from just a few months to 3 or more years. If we had to narrow it down, 6 to 10 months is a reasonable timeline if you don’t have permanent or disabling injuries. In the event you are severely injured, it will probably take 1 to 2 years before we reach a settlement with the Monarch Resort. Cases that go to trial usually take over 3 years to resolve, but this is highly unlikely. In our experience, less than 5% of all personal injury cases require intervention from the court, so the possibility of taking your case to trial is very slim.

Learning about your rights and legal options is the single most important step you can take when you are the victim of an accident that was caused by negligence. Our lawyers are here to listen and help you develop the best legal strategy if you were injured in an accident at the Monarch Resort in Pacific Grove, California.
