Hotel, Motel, and Resort Accidents

Massachusetts is a tourist destination summer, winter and fall.  Between the Berkshires, the Cape and Islands, the North Shore, or any other part of this beautiful state, there any many hotels, motels, and resorts to visit.  For most of us, time spent at a hotel, motel, or resort is supposed to be fun, relaxing, and peaceful.  Accidents are not expected.  Unfortunately, that is not always the case, and hotel, motel, and resort accidents happen every day.  Whether your local or you have come in from out of town, if you have been injured at a hotel, motel, or resort in Massachusetts, you should seek an experienced local Massachusetts attorney.

What Causes Hotel, Motel, and Resort Accidents?

Many things can contribute to accidents in a hotel, motel, or resort.  In order for the victim to have a premise liability case, the accident must have been caused by the negligence of the property owner, property manager, and/or employees of the property.  If a floor was slippery and caused a slip and fall accident due to an employee spill, or failing to put out a “wet floor” sign, for example, that may be negligence. If a fall or an attack was caused by inadequate lighting in a hallway, stairway, or other location, this too could be attributed to the negligence of the property owner.  Unsafe conditions such as lack of security in parking garages are another way that a property owner and/or manager can be negligent.  If a building is not “up to code,” a swimming pool is not properly supervised and maintained, locks on windows and doors are faulty, or any other maintenance issue causes a hotel, motel, and resort accident, there could be negligence on the part of the property owner, manager, and/or employee.
