How to File a Personal Injury Claim Against Kimpton Hotel and Restaurants
You may not know how to file a lawsuit against Kimpton Hotel and Restaurants for a slip and fall or how to begin a personal injury claim. All personal injury claims are based on the concept of negligence. Negligence can be proven if you can show that the responsible party owed you a duty of care that was breached, and that the breach of duty led to an accident that resulted in physical injuries.
A personal injury claim is a broad lawsuit. More specifically, you may wish to file a premises liability lawsuit. This is more nuanced and related to property managers and individuals on private property. Those who are on private property are categorized either as invitees, or individuals present for mutual benefits, or licensees, or social guests. Trespassers may also be present, but they are individuals with no legal right to be on the property.
A premises liability claim can be filed if you can prove one of the following situations occurred in your incident:
- The hotel manager created the hazard or caused the accident to happen
- The hotel manager was aware of the hazard but did not take any steps to fi it or warn guests about it
- The hotel manager was not aware of the hazard but reasonably should have known about it if he had been more investigate, careful, or attentive
