Property Owners Owe You A Duty To Keep Their Premises Safe

The Jersey Shore sees thousands of visitors every year seeking fun and relaxation. Unfortunately, the safety standards at hotels, motels, resorts, Airbnbs, Vrbos, campgrounds and glampgrounds can sometimes slip during the bustling summer months.

In New Jersey, property owners owe a duty of care to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. This includes maintaining structures, addressing potential hazards promptly and ensuring that all facilities are up to code. Proving liability in a hotel or resort accident involves demonstrating that the property owner failed to meet this standard of care and that this failure resulted in your injuries.

Common accidents that occur at hotels include:

  • Slip and falls due to wet floors or inadequate lighting
  • Swimming pool accidents from improper supervision or faulty equipment
  • Elevator and escalator malfunctions
  • Fires caused by faulty wiring or poor safety protocols
  • Inadequate lighting or negligent security

These accidents often occur due to flawed maintenance, poor design and construction, inadequate staff training, or simply neglecting the safety protocols that should protect guests. If you suffered injuries because of the negligence of your vacation lodging, you have the right to file a personal injury claim to obtain compensation for your medical expenses, lost income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and scarring or disfigurement.

Working with an experienced attorney is crucial. We can help navigate the complex legal landscape and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. It is also important to seek medical attention immediately after an accident. This is vital not only for your health but also for documenting your injuries, which is a crucial element of your legal case.
