Common Vacation Rental Safety Hazards
When you imagine the fun and relaxation of a week spent in a vacation rental property, you are sure to see all the ideal perks of the property, like peace and privacy, great view, and home-like amenities. However, it is critical you understand that just like any property, a vacation rental is sure to have some safety concerns that are not going to be addressed by an entire maintenance staff as they would be in a hotel. It is up to guests to be aware of the potential concerns that could result in severe injuries if they are not avoided and corrected. These issues can include:

• Burn or fire hazards due to issues with the BBQ grill, gas stove, range, fireplace, or fire pit
• Damaged electrical appliances or electrical cords that could result in electrical shocks or burns
• Worn or damaged steps, walkways, or flooring surfaces that result in a trip and fall injury incident
• Water leaks, damaged pipes, clogged drains, or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures flood floors and create a slip and fall hazard
• A faulty water heater that can cause severe burns
• Broken, damaged, or uneven pavement resulting in a trip and fall hazard

These are only a few typical hazards found in many vacation rentals that are not likely to be corrected during your stay. So, guests must watch for these hazards and others to avoid suffering a severe injury while on vacation.

Common Harm Sustained By Vacation Property Renters
Unfortunately, many of the injuries reported by renters of a vacation property are severe and can result in life-long pain and challenges. It is critical that you seek immediate emergency medical care and a complete evaluation of any injuries suffered while at a vacation rental, which might include:

• Burns or electrical shock injuries
• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Dislocated joints and damage to the soft connective tissue of joints
• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds
• Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Harm to the back, neck, or spinal cord
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Injuries to the head that can range from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a traumatic brain injury

What Is A Vacation Rental Property Owner’s Obligation To Guests?
According to premises liability laws, all property owners must follow specific rules and regulations regarding the construction and care of all private and public properties. In addition, duty of care defines the level of ongoing care and inspections required to ensure the ongoing safety of the property and those who visit it. The care required from the property owner or their staff is defined as being equal to or greater than the actions taken by the average prudent person when facing the same or a similar issue.

For example, if you discover a water leak in your home, you would repair it immediately or shut off the water in that part of the house to prevent damage to the surfaces, ensure water does not puddle, and create a slip and fall hazard. If you could not promptly eliminate the water leak issue, you would keep others from using that part of the house to ensure no one gets hurt. This is what the average person would do and what is required of the vacation rental property owner or their staff.

If the owner or their agents do not address any issues swiftly and with the appropriate resolution, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to a guest suffering an injury, the property owner can be held liable for the expenses and losses of the victim due to their injuries. If you feel negligence was a factor in your injuries, please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the facts of the case with a seasoned vacation rental accident injury attorney.

Who Else Could Be To Blame For Your Vacation Rental Accident Injuries?
Typically, the property owner is responsible for everything that occurs at their rental. However, if you were injured due to negligence, it is critical to know that there are other people who could have caused your harm, which might include:

• A property manager or management company
• A contractor working at the vacation rental
• A cleaning company
• A realtor representing the property owner
• Service providers such as cleaning staff or landscapers

Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to help you understand whom to hold accountable for the losses and expenses created by your vacation rental accident injuries. Our staff can be reached around the clock to assist you.

How Much Is My Vacation Rental Accident Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Personal injury victims must understand that there are no predetermined values for specific injuries or harm suffered at a vacation rental property. Instead, the value of each lawsuit is determined by evaluating the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. Working closely with your Normandie Law Firm vacation rental accident injury lawyer, you will compile all supporting documentation for your allowable expenses, which will often include but is not strictly limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the vacation rental accident injury incident
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your vacation property accident injury lawsuit
• Any lost income if the victim’s injuries prevent them from working at their regular job until they are fully healed or if they miss work to attend essential medical appointments for those injuries
• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the care and rehabilitation of injuries due to the vacation rental accident incident

How Long Do I Have To File A Vacation Rental Accident Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations allows victims of personal injuries two years from the date of the incident to file a claim with the court. If the case is not filed when the time limit expires, the victim loses the right to seek compensation and justice for losses and expenses caused by that specific incident. In addition, there are very minimal exceptions to provide additional time to file a claim once the Statute of Limitations has passed. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the time needed to prepare and file your lawsuit to ensure you do not miss this opportunity.
