Had a slip, trip or fall in a hotel complex? Make a holiday accident claim
If you have suffered an injury following a slip, trip or fall at a hotel complex and you do not believe it was your fault, you should consider making a holiday accident claim. Millions of hotel accidents happen across the world each year as a result of various planning and maintenance errors by the hotel owners.
Slips, trips and falls in hotels
If the proper controls are in place to predict and respond to the reasonable actions of guests and staff, then a hotel can be a very safe place to be. However, many hotels do not stand up to the level of health and safety that they should, and it is through the negligence of the hoteliers that innocent people suffer holiday injuries.
Slips, trips, and falls are the most common kind of hotel accidents that occur, making up 42% of recorded accidents in American hotels in 2000. Slips most often happen in bathrooms, ramps, car parks, and foyers, whilst falls frequently occur on stairways and from balconies.
The steps that hoteliers should take to prevent accidents include:
- fitting handrails and banisters
- providing proper lighting
- ensuring necessary maintenance is carried out and the area left in a safe state
- putting non-slip flooring down in areas that are likely to become slippery
If you believe that your accident could have been prevented, you may well be able to make a successful hotel accident claim.
Why make a holiday accident claim?
If you make a holiday accident claim, you can get compensation for your pain and suffering, as well as loss of enjoyment of your holiday, and other costs such as for treatment, prescriptions, and transport.
