Injuries at Hotels

When individuals go on an important business trip or even just on a family vacation, they might stay at a hotel. Though we expect hotels to provide a safe home away from home, this is not always the case. Unfortunately, serious injury may result from staying in a poorly maintained hotel.

Hotel injuries may range from minor accidents to serious medical emergencies. If you or someone you love was injured while staying in a hotel, contact the Philadelphia personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130 for more information about holding the hotel accountable for your injuries and losses.

Common Hotel Injuries

Since hotel rooms are used so often, they require a high level of upkeep. Most franchised properties require bi-annual inspections to ensure that they are up to health and safety codes. Unfortunately, something may go wrong in a room after the inspection has occurred, or you may be staying at property that does not require inspections.

Some of the most common problems that hotel guests encounter are:

• Bed problems, which may include the mattress or bed frame
• Poorly cleaned rooms, which may mean hazardous materials are left behind
• Faulty showers, which may include overly-hot water
• Defective electrical sockets, which may lead to electrocution

Any of these problems may present the hotel guest with a number of potential hazards, ranging from burns to broken bones. Should you suffer an injury, the hotel owner may be liable.
