Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What Does It Cost to Hire Hotel Injury Lawyers?
Mostly, nothing upfront. We operate on contingency, only charging a portion of your final settlement or verdict. Fees vary depending on complexity, litigation needs, and attorney expertise.
What’s the Deadline for Filing?
California law generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Exceptions apply, such as:
- Discovery Rule: If the injury isn’t obvious until later, the clock starts once you discover it.
- Minor Victims: Claims for minors begin when they turn 18.
- Mental Incapacity: Filing may be delayed until capacity is restored.
- Fraudulent Concealment: If the hotel hid evidence of negligence, filing begins after discovery.
Should I Speak with the Hotel’s Insurance?
It’s wise to limit communication. You may file an initial incident report, but decline recorded statements or signing documents without your attorney. Insurers often try to use this for lowball settlements.
What Evidence Matters?
Strong evidence might include:
- Incident or police reports
- CCTV footage
- Medical records and invoices
- Witness statements
- Maintenance and inspection logs
- Damaged property (such as clothing or personal belongings)
- Key card entry logs
- Prior guest complaints or incident history
- Expert reconstructions
Can I Sue for a Shower Slip-and-Fall?
If the shower lacked basic safety devices like non-slip mats or grab rails, and that oversight led to your fall, you may have a viable slip-and-fall premises liability claim.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
While many cases settle, litigation may be necessary if liability or damages are in dispute. If your case goes to trial, we’ll present evidence, examine witnesses, and seek jury-determined compensation.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
There’s no standard number. Award amounts can vary based on:
- Economic Damages: Medical care, lost wages, therapy or travel expenses
- Non‑Economic Damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost enjoyment
- Under California’s pure comparative negligence, your award may be adjusted if you share fault. For example, 20% fault reduces your award by 20%.
What If a Family Member Died Due to a Hotel Accident?
Wrongful death claims are available to surviving relatives to compensate for medical costs, funeral expenses, lost income, emotional loss, and more. These claims can hold negligent parties accountable.
