InTown Suites is a chain of extended stay hotels that was founded in 1986. With locations in 22 states, the company is popular among people who want long-term accommodations without the obligations of an apartment lease. Others also rent from InTown Suites if they travel for work or need somewhere to stay after relocating from another city or state.
No matter the reason, anyone staying at a hotel has the right to safe and clean accommodations. They also have the right to premises with security measures that are meant to protect people from physical and sexual assault. Unfortunately, some businesses fail to meet these expectations, and as a result, innocent victims are left to suffer the consequences.
Bodily harm and property damage to guests at InTown Suite can happen from the following circumstances:
- Trip and falls
- Slip and falls
- Bug bites from bedbug infestation
- Falling object incidents
- Roof / ceiling collapse
- Electrocution accidents
- Drownings in hotel pools
- CO (carbon monoxide) poisoning
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault
- Electrocutions
- Dog bite incident
- Physical or sexual assault
- Parking lot accidents

Am I Eligible for a Lawsuit against InTown Suites?
If you can prove that your accident was caused by negligent conditions at the hotel, you would have grounds to file a lawsuit for injuries and/or damage to your property. You can also base a lawsuit on misconduct, meaning someone intentionally engaged in reckless conduct, like beating you up or attempting to restrain you with a chokehold.
Most accidents at hotels fall under the category of premises liability, meaning the owner has failed to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition. You see this a lot with hotels that are dirty, have broken appliances, broken concrete, and other conditions that can cause injury to guests and visitors. Failure to maintain the premises is the number one cause of fall-related accidents (slip and falls, for example), along with structural collapses.
Those staying at InTown Suites can also be harmed by an assailant that enters the property with criminal intent. Security cameras, bright lights, locks on doors, and other basic measures can prevent the vast majority of these incidents. Sadly, this is another area where owners take shortcuts in order to maximize their profits. And the ones that suffer are hotel guests who are mugged, robbed, or raped on the property.
In short, there are many ways to hold a hotel responsible when someone is injured in an accident. For more information on suing InTown Suites, contact the offices of Normandie Law Firm.
Bitten by a Dog at InTown Suites – Who can I Sue?
Under California’s strict liability policy for injuries caused by pets, it’s normally the owner that’s responsible if a dog bit you at an InTown Suites hotel. You can also sue the owner for other injuries caused by their pet, like if you fell down due to a large dog jumping on you.
However, knowing who to sue can be challenging to figure out when it comes to long stay accommodations that allow dogs. When a hotel decides to take in dogs and other pets, they are accepting a certain degree of liability of the animal’s conduct. This is not the same level of responsibility that the owner has towards the public, but nevertheless, you may have grounds to seek compensation from both the dog owner and the hotel where you are staying.
A dog bite lawsuit may seem straightforward, but each case has its own set of complications that you will need to discuss with an experienced dog bite attorney.

You can learn more about the compensation you are owed by InTown Suites from a hotel accident lawyer at our office.
Many people are under the impression that they can only recover the cost of medical expenses and lost time from their job. As you can see, there may be other payments you are entitled to, which we can go over with you during a free case review.
Statute of Limitations to Sue InTown Suites
Legal cases for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence normally have a deadline of 2 years. Basically, starting from the date of the accident, you have 2 years to file an accident claim against the hotel or any other entity that caused you harm. Keep in mind that the courts are unlikely to give you extra time for a lawsuit. The only exceptions involve extraordinary circumstances, like the victim being mentally incapacitate to the point where taking legal action was impossible.
In the event you are a victim of sexual assault, you actually have 10 years to sue the hotel if you were of adult age at the time (at least 18 years old). As a minor, you can file a lawsuit up until your 40th birthday, as the statute of limitations for child sexual assault is 22 years from when the victim turns 18.
There may be other issues surrounding your case that have a direct impact on how long you have for a personal injury lawsuit. Our lawyers can verify the deadline that applies to your situation, so give us a call as soon as possible.
