Budget Inn Accident Injury Attorney

People need to stay at hotels for many different reasons, ranging from work-related travel to having temporary accommodations while they are moving from one place to another. No matter the circumstance, there is a need to find affordable lodgings rather than upscale amenities, and this is where establishments like the Budget Inn fit the bill.

As one of America’ most popular hotel chains, you can find a Budget Inn near airports and major attractions in most cities throughout the U.S. The hotels offer basic furnishings and services, and this is to be expected at a place where “budget” is right in the name. However, business owners are bound by a duty of care to the people on their premises, particularly guests that are paying to stay at a safe and sanitary property.

Suing for an Injury at the Budget Inn

First and foremost, it’s important to recognize that all personal injury claims are based on the concept of negligence. Whether a hotel owner was negligent in their duty of care to you is determined by the following factors:

• The owner owed you a duty of care as someone that was on the premises for a business or social reason.
• There was a dangerous condition on the premises that the owner knew about or should have known about.
• Because of the hazard that was not resolved by the hotel, you suffered bodily harm and/or property damage.
• The harm you suffered merits monetary compensation.

There are many issues at a hotel that can cause people to be injured in an accident. Most of these problems are easily solved with cleaning and maintenance, and keeping an eye out for hazards on the property. But many low-cost hotels neglect these duties, and the ones who pay for their negligence are the guests, who are left with serious injuries and long-term complications.

As soon as you are injured at a Budget Inn, it’s essential to notify the manager and ensure than an accident report is filed. If you have severe injuries, make sure to call 911 so that you can receive treatment at the ER. You can always call the hotel when your condition is stable and report the accident so that it can be documented for legal purposes.

You should also obtain legal advice from a personal injury lawyer that specializes in accidents and assault cases at hotels and other rented lodgings. Our law firm is here to guide you every step of the way, so please reach out to us for a free consultation.

Dog Bites and Other Animal Injuries

Many hotels have adopted a pet-friendly policy, which is a great option for those with dogs and other animals they are reluctant to leave at home. The problem is, there may be incidents where guests are bitten or attacked by someone else’s pet.

California’s dog bite laws are based on strict liability, so you would normally seek compensation for your medical needs, lost wages, etc., from the pet owner. However, there may be exceptions to the rule if the animal is being kept – even on a temporary basis – on someone else’s property. For example, dog groomers and veterinary clinics assume a degree of responsibility for other people’s pets while they are caring for them. So, based on the circumstances, it’s possible that the hotel shares liability for the incident, along with the dog owner.

Figuring out who is responsible for your injuries is crucial to recovering maximum payment from a dog bite lawsuit. Our law firm is ready to assist you 24/7, so call us anytime if you were bitten by a dog or injured by someone else’s pet while staying at the Budget Inn hotel.

What can I Recover from a Lawsuit?

The damages you are entitled to from a hotel negligence injury claim depend on the level of injury, physical and emotional suffering, income lost from your job, and other important factors. Available forms of compensation for accident victims generally include:

• Payment for medical expenses, including the cost of long-term / permanent medical needs
• Value of lost wages and work benefits
• Loss of earning capacity if you are unable to work because of a disability
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Attorneys’ fees and court costs
• Punitive damages

What is My Deadline to File a Lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is 2 years in California, starting from the date of injury, which is normally when the accident occurred. We can talk to you about exceptions that will buy you extra time to file a claim, but overall, the 2-year rule is the standard we go by. Not filing a claim by the statutory deadline will cost you the right to file a legal case against the hotel. That means you will forfeit any compensation you are owed, even if the hotel was grossly negligent in their duty of care to you and other guests. To protect your right to financial recovery, make sure to contact our attorneys right away.
