Humans are not only a hopeful bunch, but an optimistic one as well. The word “holiday” conjures up images of fun and relaxation and great hotel stays. The last thing we think about when we’re about to go on holiday and have our hotel rooms booked is the fact that we may get assaulted while staying at that particular hotel. Hotel assaults are on the rise due to the increase in tourism that is being witnessed all over the world. It is important to understand that hotels owe you a duty of care which is a legal principle under personal injury that requires hotel staff and management to guarantee your safety by carrying out certain tasks, getting rid of any hazardous agents as well as attend to any injuries and assaults within a reasonable timeframe as well as pre-empt and prevent the same. As a hotel guest, you may be able to hold the hotel responsible for your hotel assault experience as long as certain elements exist, and we’re here to help you with this.

Foreseeability in Hotel Assault Cases
Hotel assaults are governed by a legal principle called foreseeability. That is to say, could the hotel management have anticipated the assault happening due to certain negligent factors such as inadequate security, poor lighting, defective door locks, lack of verification of guest identity, overserving guests alcohol and so on? If so, the hotel may be held liable for your assault.
