Can I Sue if I Was Injured in a Hotel or Overnight Lodging Facility?

A hotel may be liable for injuries suffered by a guest due to negligence or the failure to make the property safe.

Under Michigan law, the guest is owed the highest legal duty of care.  This means the business owner must make the premises safe and warn its invitees of any known dangers.

Examples of hotel negligence would be slippery and wet floors in the hotel lobby, the lack of safety equipment at the swimming pool, or criminal assaults due to the lack of security cameras.

If you are an injured guest or visitor, you should report the incident to the front desk and ask to speak with the manager.  You will want to file a written report to document your injury.

In addition, it is smart to take photographs and videos on your cell phone of any dangerous conditions.  This can be helpful evidence if the business later disputes your claim.

What is the Compensation in a Case?

Settlement compensation is for your physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, and any scars or disfigurements resulting from the accident.

In addition, you can claim your medical bills and lost wages related to your hotel injury accident.  There is no dollar limit to these damages.
