Omni Hotel Guest Injury Lawsuit Attorney

Yes, if negligence or willful misconduct by the hotel is the reason you are injured, you have the right to file a lawsuit for monetary damages. Please note that we are using the word “hotel” in the context of the people that own and operate the business, and not the property itself. So, you can file a lawsuit if Omni Hotels and Resorts failed to take exercise reasonable care for the sake of preventing an accident. Or, you can sue if careless or reckless conduct by an Omni Hotel employee caused you bodily harm and/or property damage.

While many of incidents involving guests are due to a failure to maintain the premises, other cases involve inadequate security on one or more areas of the property. Hotels have a need for security cameras, bright lighting, alarm systems, and other security measures more than most other businesses. This is due to the fact that people normally stay at these places overnight, or for more than one night. Many of them have valuables and cash on them, or they are coming in and out of the hotel during late hours. It’s very easy to take advantage of security lapses and mug someone, commit sexual assault, or break into a room or suite.

These and other issues are grounds for a liability claim against the owners of the hotel. However, it takes considerable time and effort to build a strong case when you are trying to hold someone else responsible for an accident or incident of assault and battery. That’s why it’s important to work with a law firm that specializes in premises liability lawsuits against hotel and resort properties.

Whether you were assaulted by a burglar or suffered head injuries from a falling object, there are certain forms of compensation that you are entitled to under California law. By filing an injury claim for negligence by the hotel, you can receive some or all of the damages listed below:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income and job benefits, like PTO
• Loss of or damage to property
• Pain and suffering 
• Emotional distress 
• Legal fees
• Punitive damages  

At our office, we have a team of dedicated attorneys with decades of experience in lawsuits against hotels, motels, resorts, and vacation rentals. We understand the complexities that are involved with these cases and know what it takes to recover maximum payment from an Omni Hotels injury claim.

The California Courts impose a 2-year deadline on lawsuits based on negligence by a business owner or those in their employment. Thus, you have 24 months to submit an injury claim against Omni Hotels and Resorts. Please be aware that the courts rarely allow people to file a lawsuit beyond this point, so it’s very important that you initiate a claim as soon as possible. We are here to guide you every step of the way, so contact us right away to schedule a free case review.  

Previously, we talked about how personal injury claims in California have a deadline of 2 years. However, this is not the case if you were sexually assaulted at the Omni Hotel, as the statute of limitations to sue for sexual abuse is 10 years. This, by the way, is the time limit for lawsuits if the victim was an adult at the time of the incident. When a minor is sexually abused, the amount of time to sue the responsible entity is 22 years, starting from when the victim is 18 years old.

There is, however, a legal standard known as the discovery rule, which can extend the statute of limitations for a child sexual abuse lawsuit beyond the age of 40. This rule is based on the understanding that sexual abuse during childhood is often repressed by the victim, and that the cycle of repression causes significant mental health issues. Though victims may struggle with these problems for many years, they are unaware that the source of the disorder is sexual abuse while they were a minor. From the date of realizing the harm they suffered, survivors of child sexual assault have 5 years to seek damages through the civil court system.
