Safety Hazards That Could Cause You Harm At A Poorly Lit Hotel

When you imagine your stay at a nice hotel in California like the Ritz or Waldorf Astoria, you envision days and nights filled with relaxation, enjoyment, and beautiful surroundings.

But that is the unfortunate reality for many guests because of these safety hazards  that were impossible to avoid due to low light, poor lighting, or faulty lighting at their hotel:

• Cracked, damaged, or uneven sidewalks causing a fall
• Overgrown landscape blocking walkways, stairs, or other access that could cause multiple injuries
• Garden hoses, electrical cords, or other obstructions left across hallways, walkways, or in common areas of the property that were difficult to see in poorly lit areas
• Litter and debris on sidewalks, stairways, or in common areas
• Holiday decorations or hotel décor that is hanging in walking areas that is not visible due to the poor lighting
• Wet and slippery areas along walkways that cause a slip and fall injury
• Dishes, trays, or linens left outside hotel rooms become a tripping hazard due to low-light conditions

Who Should Be Held Accountable For My Injuries And Why?

In most cases, property owners are responsible for the maintenance and safety of their private or public property. This obligation is defined under premises liability law to ensure the safety of guests on any property other than their own. It states that the owner or their staff are responsible for routine inspections of the property and providing care to maintain it safely and hazard-free. If a safety hazard is found, the team must resolve the issue within a reasonable amount of time by taking the actions that would be pursued by the average prudent person.

For example, if the staff finds lights burned out or damaged, they should swiftly correct the issue or provide a temporary form of lighting in the area to keep guests safe. This is the action that the average person would take at their home and what is legally expected of the hotel staff to ensure guest safety. If the team fails to act appropriately to correct the low light safety concerns, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, the property owner can be held liable for any injuries caused due to that negligence.

What Is The Expected Value Of My Hotel Low Light Injury Lawsuit?

It is vital for all personal injury victims to understand that there are no predetermined compensation values for certain injuries or incidents. Instead, each case is independently evaluated, and the compensation awarded by the court is based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to the injuries they sustained. Working with your DTLA Law Group legal team, you will compile all the documentation to verify the allowable expenses included in your compensation request, which will typically include but are not always limited to the following:

• All current and future medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the injuries suffered at the hotel
• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident at the hotel
• The cost of all legal services required to prepare, file, and litigate your hotel low light injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the harm suffered and injuries caused at the hotel prevent you from working at your regular job until you have made a complete recovery

In cases that involve severe harm and where the injuries will require a lengthy recovery time, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount, your DTLA Law Group legal team will guide you in selecting a reasonable amount for pain and suffering based on research of recently resolved cases with similar details and injuries.

How Long Do I Have To Take Legal Action?

Victims of personal injuries at a hotel due to low lighting or poor quality lighting have two years from the date of the injury incident to file a claim with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and there are very minimal expectations that will provide more time for legal action once the time limit has passed. Please contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss your case and the time remaining to decide if you wish to take legal action to secure compensation for your losses and expenses caused by your injuries at the hotel.
