Cambria Hotels Accident Lawsuit Attorney
Cambria Hotels is a chain of hotels with over 60 locations in the U.S. Owned by Choice Hotels, Cambria offers upscale amenities, like premium bedding, bathrooms designed to look like spas, and craft beer in the hotel’s rooftop bar. While these are a nice perk when you are traveling, nothing is more important that keeping guests safe and ensuring that they are protected from accidents and physical or sexual assault.
Unfortunately, hotels regularly fail in their duty of care to the public, and as a result, you or your loved one may have been injured in one of the following ways:
- Slip and fall / trip and fall
- Stairway fall accident
- Escalator or elevator injury
- Hit by falling object, like debris from a collapsed ceiling or roof
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault
- Bed bug infestation
- Drowning (in hotel pool, hot tub, etc.)
- Burn injuries and other complications caused by electric shock
- Food poisoning
- Car crash, hit as a pedestrian, and other accidents in the parking lot

Am I Eligible for a Lawsuit against Cambria Hotels?
This is an important question to ask, since being in an accident does not always mean you have the right to sue someone else. To go after someone in a lawsuit, you must show evidence of a failure to exercise reasonable care, also known as “negligence.” At a hotel, most cases of negligence have to do with a failure to maintain safe conditions on the property. This can include many different scenarios, from not cleaning the floors properly to a failure to call an exterminator when there are signs of bed bugs.
A hotel can also breach their duty of care to visitors and guests when there are security lapses, like surveillance cameras not working properly or lack of lighting in the parking lot at night. This can easily result in people being physically or sexually assaulted. Assault and battery can also take place due to criminal conduct and poor judgment by staff members, like security guards.
To put it simply, here are the factors that form the basis of a personal injury claim:
- A dangerous condition at the hotel caused you to be injured in an accident.
- The reason for your accident was something that the hotel was aware of, or had reason to know about.
- Due to the hotel’s negligence, you sustained bodily harm and/or damage to your property, which entitles you to monetary compensation.
Though it may seem easy to prove these points, there is a lot of ground to cover when it comes to succeeding in a hotel liability lawsuit. To maximize your chances of success, seek help from a lawyer that specializes in accidents that can happen at a hotel.

Is there a Deadline to File an Accident Claim?
Yes, the state of California imposes a deadline of 2 years for a lawsuit based on negligence by a property owner. There are circumstances where the courts may allow you to file a lawsuit beyond this point, but it’s very difficult to prove that you deserve an extension. To ensure that you can obtain compensation from an injury claim, make sure to contact us right away. Whether you need information on where to file a claim or how long you have for a slip and fall lawsuit, we have a legal expert who is ready to assist you
Length of Time to Sue a Hotel for Sexual Assault
Filing a claim for sexual assault is very different than seeking damages for accidents like trip and falls and burn injuries. As an adult victim of sexual abuse at a Cambria Hotel, you have 10 years from the incident date if you wish to file a lawsuit. Alternatively, you may have been a minor (younger than 18) when you were sexually assaulted due to lack of security or another failure by the hotel. In this situation, you actually have until the age of 40 to file a child sexual abuse lawsuit under California law.
Then again, many child sexual assault victims are unable to process and resolve the abuse that was inflicted on them. As a result, they repress the events and try to move forward, but the psychological scars of their experience remain and cause them to suffer one or more mental health disorders. The realization that these issues were caused by sexual abuse as a child may not occur until the victim is past the age of 40. If this is the situation you are in, you can still qualify for a lawsuit under California’s discovery rule. In essence, victims have 5 years to file a lawsuit, starting from when they discover a physical injury or psychological damage caused by child sexual abuse.
Please take a moment to contact us if you need more information on the deadline to sue a hotel for sexual assault on the premises.
