For the comfort and hygiene of holidaymakers, hotel rooms and holiday homes and apartments should be cleaned before they arrive.
However, if the bath or shower room floor is still wet when people arrive, this could result in a holiday accident claim being made.
Usually, when a member of a holiday party has just had a bath or shower, all the other members will be aware of this and are careful when they enter the room to avoid slipping over.
If they have only just entered their holiday premise they may not expect the floor to be wet, and could slip over and cause themselves personal injury.
Depending on the layout of the room, the type of flooring, and the age and overall health of the victim their injuries could be anything from minor to severe.
For example, they could simply come away from the accident with a bruise on their knee, or they might be unfortunate enough to hit their head on the side of the bath, sink or shower as they fall and sustain serious brain injury.
For this reason it is important that the owners of a holiday premises ask their cleaning staff not to leave the floor wet, or in such a condition that it will not dry before the new holidaymakers arrive.
This means that cleaners should dry the floor themselves if people are expected soon after they have finished cleaning.
Alternatively, if there are many hours or more before anyone is due to check in then they may, if they are operating in a warm climate, open a window to air the floor, or check the room again just before the holidaymakers arrive to make sure the floor has dried successfully.
Holiday accident claim after slipping on wet floor
If you have sustained a personal injury on holiday after slipping on flooring which had not been dried by the cleaning staff, then you may be eligible to make a claim for your pain, suffering, and any loss of earnings resulting from your injuries.
