This Thanksgiving, many people will travel to spend time with their families. In many cases, people who travel will stay in hotels. Unfortunately, there are times where hotel management or staff are negligent and people are injured as a result. Please continue reading and speak with our knowledgeable Brooklyn personal injury attorney to learn more about hotel accidents and how our firm can help if you’ve been injured in one. Here are some of the questions you may have:
What are the most common causes of hotel accidents?
Hotels offer individuals a wide array of amenities, such as gym equipment, swimming pools, fine dining, and more. While these are all excellent ways in which individuals can enjoy themselves, they also require a significant amount of upkeep. When hotel employers and staff fail to ensure that these amenities are safe for all who use them, serious accidents can occur as a result. If you believe you were injured due to hotel negligence, there is a very good chance that you will qualify for financial compensation.
What should I do after sustaining an injury in a hotel accident?
If you are injured in a hotel accident, the first thing you should do is call the police and notify hotel management. From here, you should ask any witnesses who saw your accident for their name, phone number, and any other means by which you may contact them. You should then take pictures of the scene of the accident, including the safety hazard that caused you to slip and fall. Finally, after you receive medical treatment and are in stable condition, you should retain the services of an experienced Brooklyn personal injury attorney who can work to uncover all additional evidence needed to satisfy the burden of proof on your behalf.
What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in New York State?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York State is, in most cases, three years, which means that you will, generally, have three years from the date of your accident to take legal action against the liable party. If you wait any longer than three years, there is a very good chance that you will be permanently barred from suing. Our firm is here to help you today–all you have to do is give us a call.
