Over the years, vacation rental services like Airbnb have become very popular. These rentals are convenient for those looking to book stays. They also provide property owners with a convenient source of income. However, being a successful Airbnb “host” is much more than having a property and listing it on the service. The property has to be attractive to ensure that potentially guests view the listing and actually book the rental.
A major part of keeping Airbnb rentals looking great on listings and even better in person is ensuring that it is perfectly landscaped. Most Airbnb operators (the property owners) use gardening services to keep up the maintenance of yards, gardens, trees, etc. Unfortunately, gardeners can suffer incidents on the premises of the Airbnb’s that that they are working on – they could sustain dangerous injuries.

Types of Gardener Accidents at Airbnb Properties
There are a number of incidents that could occur on the premises of an Airbnb while there is a gardener on the premises. Some examples of accidents are listed below:
- Slip and falls from wet floors, slippery floors, etc.
- Trip and falls from home defects, like broken concrete, uneven sidewalks, potholes in yards, etc.
- Falling from high elevations, like from up on ladders
- Crushing injuries, lacerations, severed fingers, etc. caused by defective tools
These are just some of the incidents that gardeners could experience while they are doing their gardening duties at Airbnb properties.

Who Is Liable?
In general, property owners are liable for the harm that their guests suffer. This is because property owners owe their guests a duty of care – they have to ensure that their premises are free of any hazards or dangerous conditions that could contribute to accidents and harm their guests. Typically, gardeners take their own equipment to the properties that they are servicing; however, some property owners require their gardeners to use their own equipment. If a homeowner lends you a ladder, for example, and you get injured as a result of the ladder, then the homeowner would be liable. Similarly, if a homeowner lends you some tools that are defective or not maintained properly, leading to injuries, then the homeowner would be liable.
Although liability for Airbnb incidents typically falls onto the homeowner, it is possible for Airbnb to be liable for incidents. This means that you could potentially file a lawsuit against the homeowner or even Airbnb. For more information about your right to file a lawsuit, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the Airbnb gardener injury attorneys as soon as possible.
Airbnb’s Insurance
Airbnb hosts are protected by Host Protection Insurance from the moment that a guest checks in to the moment that the guest checks out. Host Protection Insurance is essentially a liability insurance that provides up to $1,000,000 in coverage in case of injury to an Airbnb guest or third-party (which may include a gardener on the property). In other words, your accident on the Airbnb property might be covered by the company’s insurance. For more information about this insurance policy and how it could affect your claim, do not hesitate to contact our experts immediately.
You Could Be Compensated
Based on the details surrounding your injury claim, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you suffered. What could you recover? Although every injury claim is different, you could be eligible to recover compensation for at least some of the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages
- Legal expenses
If your Airbnb gardener injury claim is successful, you could be eligible to recover a significant payout for the harm resulting from the incident. How much could you receive? The specific type and amount of compensation that you could recover will always be based on the details surrounding your claim. Therefore, you should discuss your claim with an expert to learn more about the potential value of your claim. When you allow our experts to handle your claim, you can be certain that our lawyers will not rest until you are fairly compensated and recover the highest settlement reward available.
