Accident at Ascend Hotels – Injury Lawsuit Attorney
Ascend Hotel Collection, or Ascend Hotels, is a line of high end, boutique-stye lodgings owned and operated by Choice Hotels. Each hotel has a unique structure, layout, and design, which is based on the culture and history of the community where it’s located. Thus, you will find that the Ascend Collection hotel in Napa looks like a Victorian mansion, while the one in Big Bear Village looks like a ski lodge.
When guests choose to stay at a luxury hotel, there are specific services and amenities they look forward to. But they also want to stay somewhere that is clean and well-maintained, with adequate security measures throughout the property. Unfortunately, you don’t always get what you pay for, and even upscale accommodations can be full of hazards that can cause devastating injuries. People can also be harmed by hotel employees, especially security guards that fail to exercise professionalism and good judgement when there is a tense situation.

Getting injured at a hotel isn’t enough on its own to merit a claim for monetary damages. To succeed in a lawsuit, you must show that the accident where you were injured was caused by negligent conditions at the hotel. In addition, you will need to prove that:
- The harmful condition that caused your injuries was known to the hotel, or they had reason to know about it.
- Were it not for the hotel’s failure to resolve the hazardous condition, you would not have sustained injuries of a physical and/or emotional nature.
The duty of hotel owners to keep their guests from being harmed is defined by the law of premises liability. Owners, for example, must ensure that the premises are clean and free of hazards that are likely to cause an accident. Security is important as well, especially at hotels, which are associated with high rates of theft, muggings, sexual assault, and other crimes. There must be supervision, training, and clear standards for employees as well, and punitive measures, including termination for those that do not follow the rules.
When business owners do not take the needed precautions to keep people safe, they are liable for any injuries that result from their negligence. This is the foundation of a lawsuit for accidents at a hotel, though each case will have unique factors that impact the strategy we will use to recover the highest possible settlement.

How Long Do I have if I want to Sue the Hotel?Injury claims based on negligence by a property owner or someone who works for them must be filed no later than 2 years from when the injury occurred. Generally, this is the date of the accident, so it’s important to start the legal process with a hotel accident lawyer as soon as possible. Please be aware that it’s extremely rare for the courts to make an exception if you miss the filing deadline for a premises liability lawsuit. So, you can end up losing the right to sue if you wait too long to initiate a lawsuit against Choice Hotels, the owner of Ascend Collection Hotels.
Please note that sexual abuse cases have a longer statute of limitations than lawsuits involving slip and falls, falling objects, and most other accidents. As an adult victim of sexual assault, you have 10 years if you wish to file a claim for monetary compensation.
For those who were minors at the time, the time limit is 22 years from the age of consent, which is 18 in California. So, you can say that one’s 40th birthday is the deadline to file a child sexual abuse lawsuit. However, there are circumstances where the age requirement may be waived, as the victim did not realize the psychological or physical impact of sexual assault until they were older than 40. Thus, they may be allowed to file a lawsuit within 5 years of discovering an injury caused by sexual assault.
Determining just how long you have to file a lawsuit can be challenging, so it’s best to talk to speak with a hotel sexual assault attorney as soon as possible.
