When you go on vacation, you expect fun and relaxation- not an accident and injury. Unfortunately, hotel injuries are more common than many people realize.
If you or someone in your family is injured while staying at a hotel, our Seattle hotel injury lawyers are here to help. We understand the challenges associated with these cases and can help you secure justice and recover compensation.
Common Types of Hotel Accidents
Hotels are busy, with guests coming and going all hours of the day and night. With so much activity, accidents are possible.
Our attorneys have seen many hotel-related injuries and are ready to help victims. Some of the most common types of hotel accidents we see include the following:
Slips, Trips, and Falls
One of the most common hotel accidents involves guests slipping, tripping, or falling. These incidents can occur anywhere – from slippery pool areas to uneven carpeting in hallways. We understand the risks and are ready to assist you in navigating the aftermath of such accidents.
Food Poisoning
Dining at a hotel can be a great convenience, but it also comes with risks, such as food poisoning. If you’ve suffered from improperly handled or cooked food at a hotel, our team is here to help you address this health concern and seek compensation.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pools are a highlight for many hotel guests, yet they are also sites for potential injuries. From slips on wet surfaces to accidents in the water, our lawyers are familiar with these cases and can offer the advice you need.
Elevator and Escalator Injuries
Elevators and escalators are essential for navigating multi-story hotels, but they can be hazardous if not properly maintained. Whether it’s a sudden stop or a malfunction, we’re skilled in handling these specific hotel injury claims.
In each of these situations, you can trust the Bernard Law Group to understand the complexities involved and to pursue the best possible outcome for your case. Our Seattle hotel injury lawyers are here to defend your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.

Who May Be Liable for Hotel Accidents?
Identifying who is liable for hotel accidents is essential in seeking compensation for your injuries. At Bernard Law Group, our hotel injury attorneys in Seattle are skilled at pinpointing the parties responsible for your suffering. Various entities could be held accountable depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident.
Hotel Owners and Operators
The hotel owners and operators are often the primary parties held liable for accidents on their property. They must ensure the safety and security of their premises for all guests. They can be held responsible if they fail in this duty and their negligence leads to an accident.
Maintenance and Cleaning Staff
Sometimes, hotel accidents directly result from negligence by maintenance and cleaning staff. If an accident is caused by improper cleaning, lack of maintenance, or failure to address a hazard promptly, these individuals or their employers can be held liable.
Product Manufacturers
If a hotel accident is caused by a defective product, such as a malfunctioning elevator or a broken chair, the manufacturer might be liable under product liability laws. We examine every angle to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.
Other Third Parties
There are situations where third parties, such as contractors working on the hotel premises or external vendors providing services, may be liable for accidents. Our team carefully reviews contracts and service agreements to identify any third-party liability.
At Bernard Law Group, we work to uncover who may be responsible for your hotel accident. Our thorough investigation process and commitment to our client’s well-being allow us to hold all negligent parties accountable, ensuring our clients can focus on their recovery. At the same time, we pursue the justice they deserve.
Proving Liability in Hotel Accident Cases
When you’re hurt in a hotel accident, proving liability is critical to your case. Our hotel injury attorneys in Seattle are committed to showing who is responsible for your injuries.
We focus on gathering evidence that highlights the hotel’s negligence. This can include showing how the hotel failed to maintain a safe environment or did not address potential hazards that led to your accident.
Evidence Collection
We collect various forms of evidence to build your case. This includes photos of the accident scene, witness statements, and maintenance records. Our team also reviews hotel policies and state laws to demonstrate how the hotel’s actions, or lack thereof, contributed to the incident.
Legal Strategy
Determining liability involves understanding complex legal theories. We analyze your case to decide the best approach, whether proving the hotel’s direct negligence or establishing that they knew about the hazard and did nothing to fix it. We aim to create a convincing argument supporting your claim for compensation.
The Bernard Law Group guides you through proving liability in hotel accident cases in every step. We understand your challenges and are dedicated to helping you secure the justice and compensation you deserve.
