Omni Hotel Accident Injury Lawyer

People stay at hotels for all sorts of reasons, and there are many types of hotels to suit different tastes and budgets. Omni Hotels and Resorts is a high-end luxury chain of properties with more than 50 locations. These are resorts with upscale amenities, like concierge service, golf courses, spa treatments, and wine tasting events. Whether you stay at the Omni for work or vacation, your experience will surely exceed what you will find at the average hotel.

Everything that Omni Hotels has to offer is attractive to anyone who is looking for a place to stay. However, how things appear on the surface are of little comfort if there are hidden dangers lurking underneath. Unsanitary conditions, plumbing issues, defective appliances, structural damage, and careless or inexperienced staff are just some of the problems that can cause harm to others.

Negligence by owners and staff at hotels, motels, and resorts can result in:

• Fall accidents – trip and fall and slip and fall
• Hotel pool drownings
• Struck by falling objects
• Injured in a hotel elevator / escalator
• Assault and battery, including sexual assault on property
• Parking lot accidents
• Bitten by bed bugs
• Food poisoning on property
• Burn injuries (at hotel restaurant, from electrical fires)
• Golf cart accidents

Can I Sue if I Got Hurt at the Hotel?

Yes, you can sue the hotel if you were injured from a condition that the hotel had a legal duty to resolve. When we say “hotel,” we are talking about the company Omni Hotels and Resorts, as well as the people that operate the properties. These include people in a supervisory position and the workers that keep the hotel functioning on a day to day basis.

All these individuals have certain duties and responsibilities that keep the hotel safe for guests and visitors. For example, cleaning staff must ensure that the floors are free of water, debris, and other hazards that can cause people to fall. Managers have to arrange for repairs when they notice structural damage and other issues that increase the possibility of an accident. Then, there are security issues to think about, like where to place surveillance cameras and bright lighting. In addition, security guards must be thoroughly screened and trained to ensure that they know how to deescalate tense situations with the least amount of physical force.

Thus, when there is an accident at an Omni Hotels location, one has to investigate and see if there were reasonable measures that the hotel could have taken to prevent the incident. If the answer is yes, you likely have grounds to file a liability claim against the hotel. Keep in mind that this is a simplistic explanation of liability by a property owner, and your own situation may involve more complicated issues. With that in mind, please take the time to consult a lawyer with experience in suing hotels for negligence and misconduct.

How Much Time Do I have for an Omni Hotel Guest Injury Lawsuit?

In California, victims of negligence by a business owner have 2 years to file a claim for damages, like medical expenses and pain and suffering. There is an exception that applies to victims of sexual assault, which we will talk about in the next section. However, it is generally understood that the deadline for a personal injury claim is 2 years, and those who miss the deadline will lose the right to sue the responsible entity. By contacting our law firm, you can ensure that an accident claim will be filed on time, with extensive evidence and strong legal arguments to support your right to compensation.

Extended Deadline to File a Lawsuit for Sexual Assault

As previously mentioned, the deadline for a personal injury claim is 2 years, as a general rule. But California provides a much longer timeline if you are suing for sexual assault due to lack of security or other cases of negligence. If you were 18 years or older at the time of the assault, you have 10 years to file a lawsuit against the Omni Hotel. As a victim of childhood sexual assault, meaning you were younger than 18, you must file a lawsuit by your 40^th birthday.

In some cases, you may have the chance to sue the hotel, even though you are older than 40. Perhaps you are one of the many victims who spent many years repressing the pain and trauma of sexual abuse. The repression caused you to develop mental health issues, which you did not connect to the incident of sexual assault until you were well into adulthood. If the point of realization takes place after the age of 40, you can still file a lawsuit within 5 years according to the state’s discovery rule.

The statute of limitations for sexual abuse is a complex matter that requires input from an experienced attorney. Call us today and schedule a free consultation with a hotel sexual assault attorney.
