Causes of NYC Hotel Accidents

Hotels are proud of the wide variety of accommodations they offer guests. With that said, the more amenities that a hotel provides, the more work hotel staff must do to ensure the safety of all guests. When hotel management does not regularly monitor the premises for possible dangers, guests can get hurt and struggle to overcome their injuries for years down the road. Some of the many hotel accidents that happen in NYC include the following:

  • Elevator accidents
  • Escalator accidents
  • Sidewalk accidents
  • Gym equipment accidents
  • Parking lot/garage accidents
  • Accidents due to inadequate security
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Unsanitary conditions
  • Stairway accidents
  • Swimming pool accidents

Fulfilling the Burden of Proof

Like all other premises liability cases in New York, you are required to fulfill the burden of proof if you take legal action against a hotel. This means that you must prove that there were dangerous conditions present on the property and that the staff failed to remedy them, ultimately causing you to become injured. With the help of your injury attorney, you can fulfill the burden of proof with photos, surveillance footage, and witness testimony. You should start collecting evidence immediately to make sure as much information is preserved as possible. It is important to notify hotel management as soon as an accident occurs so they know about the incident and that someone became injured on their property.
