Safety for Hotel Guests

When we travel and stay in hotels, we generally trust that the hotel ownership, management and staff have made sure conditions are safe. During a vacation or while staying at a hotel for other reasons, you have a reasonable expectation that the hotel and its premises are free from any hazards that can cause harm. Hotel owners, management and staff have a legal responsibility to keep their guests safe.

If you have been hurt in an accident due to hotel negligence, talk with a St. Louis hotel accident lawyer from our Missouri office.

The hotel accident injury lawyers at Gray Ritter Graham have been representing injured clients and their families since 1946. In that time, we have built a reputation for client-centered, successful litigation for clients in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas and throughout the region.

Personal Injury Accidents in Hotels

Most accidents in hotels occur as a result of some kind of basic negligence on the part of the hotel ownership, management or staff, resulting in dangerous situations:

  • Stairways and elevators
  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Parking lots
  • Inadequate security
  • Elevator and escalator accidents
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Negligent security measures
  • Improperly maintained or unsupervised swimming pools

Dangerous Hotel Room Products

Another common cause for hotel accidents and injuries involves faulty products within hotel rooms and lobbies:

  • Electric shocks from faulty coffee makers, televisions, air conditioners and lights
  • Falls from improperly secured windows and porches
  • Burns from sinks and showers
  • Spoiled or contaminated food (food poisoning)
