What is Airbnb’s host protection insurance?
If you have been involved in an accident in an Airbnb, Airbnb offers Host Protection Insurance for the owners of Airbnb listings. If you are injured in an Airbnb, the first $1 million of compensation will come from Airbnb rather than the host or landlord of the property. However, this first $1 million in coverage does not generally cover contractual liability, lost wages as a result of injuries, injuries caused by intentional acts, communicable diseases, or injuries sustained due to a guest’s intoxication.
Am I qualified for compensation after an Airbnb accident?
If you find yourself in a circumstance where $1 million does not cover the entirety of your injuries’ costs such as surgery or hospital bills, you should gain the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney. They will be able to assist you with acquiring the additional compensation you deserve. Your attorney will work to prove that you were injured as a direct result of the host or landlord’s negligence. Our firm is experienced in personal injury claims and will work to recover any evidence necessary for your case such as surveillance footage or security camera footage. We will also work to recover medical documentation, police reports, witness statements, and pictures of the safety hazard that caused the accident.
