When you stay at a hotel or Air BNB, it is easy to forget that there are many activities we take for granted at home. For example, you know that taking a shower in your house is safe because you have installed glass doors or proper-length shower curtains to keep the water inside the shower or tub. So when you use the shower in a hotel or Air BNB, you assume that the proper care was also taken to ensure the safe use of that shower. However, that is not always the case.<\/p>\n

In many hotels and some Air BNB rentals, the shower curtain rod is a flimsy piece of metal or plastic held in place by the least expensive spring possible. The idea is a small amount of grip to hold the rod and curtain in position. However, the spring can wear, and guests can stress it more than the manufacturer might have expected. The result is a shower rod often falling or slipping,<\/a> which annoys the guest. Sadly, many people will reinstall the cheap rod far above where it was intended to be placed. So if it slips down, they can still access the shower without the need to do a limbo dance. But while solving one issue, they created another.<\/p>\n

The shower curtain is too short, and water splashes all over the floor. The person who moved the curtain rod might be aware of the complication and be extra careful. But the next person in the room might not be as observant or cautious. And when water soaks the floor, they could suffer a significant fall and severe injuries. If you have suffered a fall due to a short shower curtain at a hotel or Air BNB, please get in touch with the slip and fall injury attorneys at DTLA Law Group. We offer a free consultation to evaluate the merit of your case<\/a> and advise you to move forward with a lawsuit, if applicable, to secure compensation for your injuries and losses.<\/p>\nHow Is A Property Owner Responsible For A Shower Curtain Issue?<\/span>\n

You could be thinking that the length of a shower curtain or how it hangs in a shower in a hotel or Air BNB is a very minor detail. And holding a property owner responsible for this minute detail is unreasonable. However, this simple piece of fabric or plastic serves a vital function. It ensures that water remains in the shower and does not create a slippery floor.<\/p>\n

Under premises liability, an aspect of the legal system that defines a property owner\u2019s responsibility to guests, the owner is obligated to provide a safe and hazard-free property. If the owner fails to provide a safe hotel room or Air BNB to renters, they are in breach of their duty of care and are considered negligent in their duty. For example, in the case of a short shower curtain, or one that is damaged, it is the property owner\u2019s responsibility to repair or replace it. Or, at the very least, make renters aware of the issue so they can take added precautions to place towels on the floor and expect a potentially wet surface when stepping out of the shower.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nEstablishing Negligence<\/span>\n

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\u2019s negligence by showing that:<\/p>\n
