Negligence Explained
Hotels have the responsibility to properly maintain their properties and ensure the safety of all guests. This includes keeping safe premises by repairing or removing anything that might pose a hazard to their guests, notifying guests of hazards via proper signage, implementing adequate security, and hiring and training all hotel staff in proper safety procedures. When a hotel fails to do this, they can and should be held liable for their negligence.
