How can I sue for injuries at an Econo Lodge?

Econo Lodge must provide its guests with safe premises and have all the proper upkeep and maintenance done on the motel. If there are noticeable defects or issues, the property owner should fix them as quickly as he can or ensure that the areas are not used by guests. However, many owners do not even provide ample warnings. If the Econo Lodge property owner is guilty of any of these points of negligence, you can sue for damages:

• The owner caused the hazard or incident in the first place
• The owner knew about the issue but took no actions to fix it or post warnings about the hazard
• The owner was unaware of the problem, but if he had been more attentive like any reasonable owner, he would have noticed it and fixed it

In order to sue for injuries, at least one of these points must be true. You also must have suffered some kind of physical injury to file an accident lawsuit and claim certain damages. Your very first step after an accident should be to get medical treatment. You should not put off going to the doctor for treatment, and you should keep all receipts and proof of your treatment. If you do not go to the doctor at once, the insurance agent handling the case can be dubious and not trust your claim. Next, you should gather the following pieces of proof:

• Photos of the scene of the accident
• Pictures of your injuries
• Eyewitness statements or testimonies from other guests about the state of the motel or how the accident happened
• Receipt from the motel detailing your stay
• Credit card statements and proof of payments
• Pictures of any defects

Once you have gotten as much proof as you can, you should file an incident report with the Econo Lodge. This can be a problem, though, as many motels will try to mask the defect or hazard and kick you out of the room so they can fix it before you get any proof. This way, they will not have anything to show when being investigated. It is highly recommended that you contact a law group with experience handling claims against Econo Lodge.

You can do so if you were involved in the accident when under the age of 18 years old (turning 18 will activate the statute) or when you were left incapacitated (returning to health or functionality will cause the statute to resume). Further, the defendant must be present in the state if you wish to se, and if he isn’t, the deadline will be extended. Do not take the chance of missing the date for your lawsuit to be filed.
