Hotels across America strive to be a home away from home but with the added touch of luxury. In an attempt to surpass each other when it comes to convenience, health, and wellness options, many hotels not only have pool facilities, but they also have working gyms, spas, and some, even full-fledged tennis courts. These amenities make it possible for guests to cater to their wellness and exercise needs right within the hotel without ever leaving it, making them a selling point during the hotel’s marketing. While these facilities make life easier, enjoyable, and more comfortable, the specter of accidents and injuries looms ever so near each day, and guests are usually of the mistaken opinion that nothing untoward can ever happen to them. Hotel injuries that occur within the premises are covered under the legal principle of premises liability law, which holds hotel staff and management liable for any injuries that occur within their premises, making it possible for guests to seek compensation for their injuries, whether physical, psychological, or emotional.

Injuries within these recreational facilities can occur due to inadequate supervision, improper maintenance, inadequate security or simply, equipment malfunctions. As a result, liability claims surrounding hotel injuries hinge on negligence, which usually demonstrates that hotel management failed to meet a certain standard of care owed to its guests. These cases may seem cut and dry, but the reality is that there are often multiple parties and entities at play, and in some cases, multiple insurance companies and the potential for the hotel to argue that you assumed some form of liability when you agreed to book a stay with them. Due to the complexity of these cases, it is vital to seek timely legal counsel in order to secure your compensation, and it would be an honor to help you along this journey.

Hotel Amenities and Injury Risk – How Do They Happen?

Here are some of the most common types of recreational amenities and their associated risks:

• Fitness centers are featured in just about every hotel, but injuries abound due to things like poor maintenance of gym equipment, lack of supervision, or poor staff training leading to user error causing falls, muscle injuries, sprains and fractures
• Hotel swimming pools are also notorious for injuries due to factors such as wet puddles around the pool, the lack of non-slip mats, minimal to no cleaning around the pool, lack of signage to warn about hazards and so on may lead to head, spinal cord, limb injuries, as well as present a drowning risk particularly when it comes to children and a lack of supervision
• Hotel spas and saunas tend to be hygiene risks if they are not properly sanitized to prevent infection, so these areas must be carefully sanitized, and towels must be bleached or cleaned with antimicrobial agents before being provided to guests. In addition, these facilities often feature electrical or infrared components which can lead to burns on account of overheating if they are not regularly inspected
• Outdoor recreational areas such as tennis courts and golf courses can be ground zero for injuries due to a number of factors such as the poor maintenance of surfaces such as the lack of repairs on cracked tennis courts or uneven golf course terrain, as well as the lack of warning signs on golf courses and lack of netting around tennis courts, which can lead to bystanders getting hit by tennis balls during a session

I Signed a Hotel Amenities Waiver – Can I Still Recover Compensation?

Almost all hotels will require that you sign a liability waiver in order to protect themselves from any legal action should you get injured, as waivers are worded to the effect that you engaged in an activity of your own volition and assumed any and all risk thereafter. However, waivers, if ambiguous, are open to interpretation, must state that the individual received express informed risk, may not cover other activities that take place within the facility or while engaging in a certain sport or relaxation exercise, and so on. It is important that you reach out to us at (314) 481-63338 and send us a copy of the waiver so we can analyze it in order to protect your right to justice and compensation.
