Whether you’re staying at a hotel for a few days or a week, it’s easy to pack on the pounds due to the availability of buffet style meals over the course of any given day as well as the ability to ring up room service any time of the day. Food is a vital part of hospitality, and many hotels pride themselves in being able to offer their guests with world-class meals at the drop of a hat. That said, instances of food poisoning are very common in hotels, and guests often have to seek treatment and even take some time off work in order to recover. It is vital to understand that you are owed what’s called duty of care by a business establishment if you are their guest and are at their premises either for a social call or to do business. To this end, if you got sick via food poisoning at a hotel that you stayed in, it is possible to file a legal claim so you can collect money damages, and we’re here to help with that.
