Injured At A Hotel Booked On Priceline

Priceline is an online travel agency known for offering discounted prices for travel purchases such as hotel accommodations. Established in 1997, the company has increased in popularity as the cost of travel and hotel stays has continued to increase. Price-conscious consumers are happy to save money while still being able to stay at the hotels and resorts they know and have enjoyed in the past.

The challenge of saving money by booking a hotel through Priceline is that there can be a number of restrictions, such as no refund if you cancel the reservation or an inability to change the reservation if you want a different date or need a larger room. But once you have arrived for your stay, you will see no other differences when you book through a third-party site such as Priceline. The accommodations and obligations of the hotel remain the same, regardless of how and where the reservation was booked.

So, if you were injured at a hotel booked on Priceline, you have the same rights as any personal injury victim. The team at Normandie Law Firm is just a call away to help you understand the process and how to hold the hotel accountable for any harm you suffered at its facilities.

Common Safety Hazards In Hotels
When you book your hotel stay on Priceline, you are likely thinking about the location and amenities instead of the dedication of the housekeeping staff and the level of care the rooms and property receive. Sadly, this is the same process most consumers use to book a hotel, which is why many are so shocked to experience an injury due to common safety hazards they never expected to encounter at their favorite hotel chain.

As you book your hotel reservation on Priceline, and when you are walking through the common areas and your hotel room, pay attention to your surroundings and be aware of these common hotel safety concerns:

• Damaged or loose carpeting in shared spaces, hallways, and rooms
• Water, sand, or other items spilled or dropped on floors that are not correctly cleaned up
• Piles of linens left in the hallways
• Room service trays left outside rooms
• Wet floors in the elevators
• Lights, artwork, or signs mounted overhead on walls or ceilings that could be about to fall
• Damaged or overgrown landscape that could be hazardous
• Burned-out light bulbs or damaged light fixtures cause remote spaces to be dark and hard to safety navigate
• Loose or damaged handrails at steps
• Cracked, damaged, or uneven pavement surfaces in the parking lot, parking garage, or sidewalks
• Litter that fell from overfilled trash cans
• Hoses or electrical cords left in walkways
• Damaged, folded, or saturated floor mats at the hotel entrance

It is very unfortunate that all of these potential safety issues can exist in a hotel where the staff could quickly correct them and prevent guest injuries. However, hotel accident injuries are becoming more and more common due to a lack of attention to detail and dedication to guest safety.

Common Hotel Injuries Sustained By Guests
In some instances, hotel guest injuries are minor and can be addressed with a bag of ice and a little time relaxing. However, for each of those minor injuries, there is one that can be considered life-altering or possibly even life-threatening. In these cases, the victim suffers one or more of these severe injuries:

• Damage to the connective tissue of joints or a complete joint dislocation
• A severe contact burn, electrical burn, or electrical shock
• Damage to the back, neck, or spinal cord
• Severe laceration or puncture wound that could be complicated by damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Soft tissue and nerve damage
• Fractures, broken, or shattered bones
• Injuries to the delicate skin of the face or the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Head injuries that can range from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a brain bleed or other traumatic brain injury

If you suffer any accident injury while staying in a hotel booked on Priceline, please seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure your injuries are immediately diagnosed and adequately treated. Then, contact Normandie Law Firm to discuss the legal merit of your case and your ability to seek compensation for your medical expenses and losses via a hotel injury lawsuit.

When Is The Hotel Responsible For Your Losses And Injury Expenses?
Personal injury victims who were hurt at a hotel need to understand how premises liability law and duty of care will impact their ability to file a lawsuit. Premises liability laws were created to ensure the safety of guests on all public and private properties. They explain the care and maintenance processes that the property owner or their staff must follow to ensure guest safety. Duty of care defines the level of care that must be demonstrated when a safety issue is discovered or a guest reports a potential safety concern.

It states that the staff must act with at least the same level of care provided by the average prudent person who faces a similar issue. For example, if you found water spilled on the floor in your home, you would immediately clean up the spill so no one slipped and fell. That is what most people would consider the appropriate way to eliminate the hazard and what is required under duty of care. If the staff at a hotel find an issue such as spilled water and fail to promptly correct it, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to a guest suffering a hotel accident injury, the property owner can be liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. Please reach out to the staff at Normandie Law Firm if you feel that staff negligence could have been a factor in your hotel injuries.

How Much Is The Average Hotel Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Victims of personal injuries must know that there are no predetermined compensation values for specific injuries or accidents causing personal injuries. Instead, each case is independently reviewed, and the compensation amount is calculated based on the actual losses and expenses suffered by the victim due to their injuries. You will work closely with your Normandie Law Firm legal team to compile all documents to verify the losses and expenses you incurred to determine the compensation sought by your hotel injury lawsuit. The items used in this process typically include but are not strictly limited to:

• All current and estimated future medical care required for the hotel injuries and any necessary rehabilitation
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate the hotel injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the hotel injuries you suffered prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed or if you miss work to attend medical appointments related to those injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the hotel injury incident
• In cases with severe injuries and a lengthy recovery process, it is possible to seek added compensation for pain and suffering

How Long Do I Have To File My Hotel Injury Lawsuit?
The time limit to file a lawsuit with the court is defined by the Statute of Limitations. In cases involving personal injuries at a hotel, the victim is given two years from the date of the injuries to file a claim with the court. If the case is not filed with the court before the Statute of Limitations expires, they lose the right to seek compensation for losses due to that incident. It is also vital to know that there are minimal exceptions that provide the victim added time to file their claim once the two years have passed. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the time remaining to prepare and file your case.
