Hotel Injury Lawsuits in Las Vegas

By Claggett & Sykes Law Firm | February 20, 2020

Staying at a hotel in Las Vegas can seem like the vacation of a lifetime…until you unexpectedly suffer an injury on the property. Although hotels and casinos have a legal obligation to ensure the reasonable safety of guests, many breach this duty to save time or money. Breaches of duty and acts of negligence can lead to hazards such as slippery floors, open swimming pools, dangerous staircases and criminals injuring you on your stay. If you have an injury from any type of accident in a hotel, contact our Las Vegas personal injury lawyers at Claggett & Sykes Law Firm for a free consultation about a potential premises liability lawsuit. The hotel may owe you compensation.

Common Hotel Accidents and Injuries in Las Vegas

Most hotel injuries trace back to issues within the property. The hotel or its grounds could contain defects that interfere with guests’ abilities to have a safe and enjoyable stay. It is up to hotel management to pay for regular property inspections, remain up to code, maintain the property, hire quality crews and make repairs as necessary. If the hotel fails to fulfill these duties, accidents and injuries can occur.

As an injured hotel guest, you may have one of many serious types of injuries that impact your daily life. You may have suffered muscle injuries, bone fractures, cuts or scrapes, bruising, strains, sprains, head injuries, brain injuries, or back injuries. If you or a loved one have injuries from a hotel stay in Las Vegas, you may be able to hold the establishment accountable for your accident and related damages.

Were You Injured in One of These Hotels?

Working with an attorney can help you build a claim against a powerful hotel.

What to Do After a Hotel Injury in Las Vegas

To protect your right to potential compensation after a hotel accident, start gathering evidence from the beginning. While still at the scene where your hotel accident occurred, take pictures and videos of your injuries and related details, such as the property defect that caused a trip and fall. Ask for the contact information of any eyewitnesses. Request video footage from the hotel, if available. Keep copies of your medical records and recommended treatment plans. Then, contact an attorney from Claggett & Sykes Law Firm to take the next step forward with your claim.
