Yes, you can sue America’s Best Value Inn for your injuries from a slip and fall if the accident was caused by their negligence. According to California’s premises liability laws, property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of visitors on their property. The hotel must take all reasonable measure to prevent an accident, including regular cleaning and inspections of the premises. If there are dangerous conditions, they must fix the problem right away or keep people away from the area with warning signs.

Here are some examples of hazards that can lead to a slip and fall at an America’s Best Value Inn:

• Spills on the floor from water, coffee, juice, and other beverages
• Food or grease on the floor
• Uneven or broken tiles
• Worn areas on carpets
• Defective / insufficient hand rails
• Leaking pipes and sinks
• Loose or exposed wiring
• No Wet Floor signs 
• Poor lighting
• Improper use of cleaning materials (slippery or sticky floors) 
• Ice or snow on sidewalks / parking areas

If you’ve fallen down at a hotel, make sure to see a doctor right away. Many people put this off because they’re embarrassed or don’t want the inconvenience of going to a hospital. However, this can be dangerous to your long-term health, as many injuries are not obvious right away. You must also report your injuries to the hotel so that an accident report can be filed on your behalf. These two steps are critical in a personal injury case, along with legal advice from an experienced slip and fall attorney.

Slip and fall claims are highly valuable cases due to the high risk of serious injuries. The location of your accident matters as well; slip and falls at commercial properties usually have higher values than those on private properties. Slip and fall lawsuits at our law firm are worth around $150,000 to $350,000 on average, though it depends on the level of your harm and suffering. If you have minor injuries, for example, your total damages may be as low as $15,000. On the other hand, cases with multiple serious injuries or lifelong damage may be worth around $500,000 to over $1 million.

The statute of limitations for a slip and fall lawsuit is two years from the date you were injured. This can be the date of your accident at an America’s Best Value Inn, or the date you discovery an injury from your accident. If you miss the deadline for your case, the courts are unlikely to give you an extension. That means you will permanently forfeit your right to sue the hotel, even if you have solid evidence of their liability. To get started on an injury claim with one of our attorneys, contact our office as soon as possible.

How long it takes to settle a slip and fall claim is one of the most common questions we receive from injury victims. If all goes well and the hotel is willing to work out a settlement with us, a slip and fall case may be settled in just 30 days, though 4 to 8 months is a more realistic timeline. But there are many complications that can add to the settlement process, especially if there are complex, long-term injuries. Twelve to 18 months may be needed to recover an adequate amount of funds in these cases. If the case goes to a lawsuit, the length of time to settle a claim may be two or more years.

Are you getting the time and attention you deserve from your law firm? Are you confused or worried about certain issues in your case? If so, please take a moment to schedule a free second opinion with one of our attorneys. Like doctors, lawyers can provide second opinions on pending legal actions and offer advice on the best course of action for a successful outcome. It’s possible that switching your lawyer may be the right option for your case, especially if your claim is taking too long to settle or you don’t feel like your lawyer sees you as a priority. We will help you make an informed choice, but please be assured that the consultation is 100% free, regardless of what you decide.
