    How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Hotel Fall Injury Attorney?

    Recoverable Damages in a Hotel Slip and Fall Settlement

    Many hotel or motel fall injuries are relatively minor, but others can cause serious, lasting injuries. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, you should not have to pay for medical care or other economic and non-economic effects of the fall on your own.

    Property owners—including hotels—have a responsibility to guests. When you slip and fall at a hotel, our personal injury lawyers can hold the property owner accountable and recover compensation for your injuries. This could include:

    • Non-economic losses, such as emotional pain and physical suffering
    • Medical bills for treating injuries, current and future
    • Income losses for missed work
    • Diminished earning potential if you cannot return to your previous work
    • Repair or replacement of damaged property
    • Related expenses

    If your loved one died from hotel fall injuries, a Florida wrongful death lawyer from our team can build a case and seek compensation on your family’s behalf. Losing a loved one in a premises liability accident can lead to financial stress and uncertainty. You should not have to worry about how to make ends meet while you mourn your lost family member.

    Can You Sue a Hotel for a Slip and Fall?

    Under Florida law, you can sue a hotel for fall injuries if: 

    • The fall occurred because of a hazardous condition on the premises
    • The hotel or staff knew about or should have known about the hazard
    • You suffered compensable injuries and other damages

    Trips, slips, stair falls, and other accidents can occur in hotel lobbies, bars, and restaurants, as well as other public areas like hallways, ballrooms, gyms, and pool decks. These falls happen because of hazards such as:

    • Leaks
    • Tracked rain or pool water
    • Spills
    • Poor lighting
    • Broken handrails
    • Uneven flooring or slopes
    • Broken pavement or tiles
    • Loose carpeting
    • Trip hazards

    Our Florida fall accident lawyers know how to document these accidents, their causes, and the damages they inflict. We can investigate your fall and develop a case against the hotel or another liable party. Then, we can negotiate with their insurer to recover fair compensation or sue the hotel and litigate the case.

    How Our Slip & Fall Attorneys Hold Hotels Liable for Clients’ Injuries

    Whether you suffered catastrophic injuries or expect to make a full recovery in the near future, our legal team understands how important it is to hold the at-fault party accountable and recover money for your expenses and losses. From the first day we work on your case, we protect your right to a fair payout, preserve evidence, and ensure you understand what to expect from the claims process.

    Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, injured parties generally have two years from the accident date to sue the hotel if a settlement is not reached or litigation becomes necessary. Missing this deadline could affect your ability to recover fair compensation through a settlement or verdict. The right to sue provides significant leverage in settlement negotiations, so it is in your best interest to:

    • Prioritize your health so the insurance company sees you are taking your injury seriously
    • Speak to our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after your slip and fall in a hotel
    • Begin your legal case promptly so you retain the right to sue
