Each year, over 60 million people visit New York City. Many of these travelers stay in hotels for the duration of their trip. When an individual stays in a hotel in New York City, it is generally assumed that they are safe from hazards. Hotel staff is responsible for making sure there are no dangers present that could potentially result in somebody becoming injured. When hotel staff is negligent and someone does get hurt as a result, the injured party may wonder whether they will be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the hotel to recover damages.

There are a number of different types of accidents that can happen in a hotel. Some of the most common accidents that occur in hotels in New York City and across the United States include swimming pool accidents, stairwell accidents, slip and fall accidents on a wet surface, defective gym equipment, injuries due to inadequate security preventing dangerous persons from entering, unsafe walkways, and accidents on elevators or escalators. Of course, some of these accidents may not be so much the fault of the hotel but it could be a product defect, which is common in elevator or escalator and gym equipment accidents. In this situation, one would have to bring a case against the manufacturer of the product.
