OYO Hotel Rooms Injury Attorney

OYO, also known as OYO Rooms and OYO Hotels & Homes, is a hospitality chain that operates hotels, vacation homes, and living spaces all over the world. They also provide booking and rental services similar to Airbnb, along with tools to help property owners list their home, apartment, etc., on OYO.

The corporation, which is based in India, has built a solid reputation on clean and well-maintained lodgings at affordable rates. This is particularly important in major cities like New York and Los Angeles, where it’s very difficult to find budget accommodations.

With any rental unit, there is the possibility on unsafe conditions that can cause you to be injured. If a property is not maintained as well it should be, guests at OYO Hotels and rented rooms may be harmed in one of the following incidents:

• Trip and fall
• Slip and fall
• Burn injury
• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault
• CO poisoning
• Hotel room fire
• Hit by falling objects
• Bed bug infestation
• Dog bites
• Parking lot / garage accidents
• Theft or robbery incident

Our law firm is here for you 24/7 if you have questions about your rights and legal options. Contact us today and speak with an OYO hotel accident injury attorney.

Hazards that can Injure Guests at an OYO Rental Property

As we said before, many people looking for rooms and rental homes on OYO are on a budget, so price is the key factor when they choose a listing. With cheaper accommodations, you expect a certain level of inconvenience due to the lack of amenities you would find at higher priced hotels. However, you still have every right to expect reasonable safety standards for the sake of preventing an accident.

Unfortunately, maintenance and repairs usually fall to the bottom of the list, because it’s the easiest way for hospitality companies to save money. As a result, conditions like the ones listed below can be found quite easily at many of the properties operated by OYO:

• Water leaks on the floor or the ground outside from broken hoses, defective pipes, and failure to repair or replace appliances.
• Leaking toilets or plumbing fixtures
• Failure to secure electrical cords and wires so people do not trip over them
• Not removing snow and ice from sidewalks, steps, and parking areas
• Failure to use shower mats or anti-slip grips in bath tubs
• Overflowing trash cans and dumpsters
• Cracked / broken concrete on sidewalks and steps
• Missing or poorly designed handrails
• Damaged or uneven flooring
• Defective appliances that cause electric shock and burn injuries
• Inadequate lighting, lack of surveillance cameras and other security issues

If you or your family member was harmed in any of these incidents, seek medical care immediately. Then, reach out to us here at DTLA Law Group, where you can receive a free consultation from a hotel injury accident attorney.

Your Right to Sue for Monetary Compensation

Under California’s premises liability, owners and operators of a property have a legal duty to protect their guests from harm. This is not meant to imply that OYO is responsible for every accident at one of their listings. Rather, property management companies and owners have a duty to provide safe accommodations that can minimize the potential for injuries to a guest. Aside from cleaning and maintaining the unit, they must also provide adequate security measures to keep guests from being robbed or assaulted.

Please note that these lawsuits are much more complicated than the average hotel accident claim. OYO is essentially the platform that helps hotels and small businesses with rentals list their units and find paying guests. Premises liability generally applies to the owner of the property, but as a booking site and property services provider, OYO does have some degree of responsibility when it comes to the safety of people that find bookings on their platform.

These are just some of the factors that affect who you can sue and the damages you can recover from a rental property injury case. To discuss your rights with an OYO Hotels & Homes accident lawyer, reach out to us at your earliest convenience.

How Long Do I have for a Lawsuit against OYO?

If you are filing a claim in the state of California, you normally have 2 years to file a personal injury lawsuit, starting from the date of injury. For the most part, this deadline is absolute, though there are limited cases where you are given a longer amount of time to seek monetary damages. Sexual assault lawsuits, for example, have a 10-year statute of limitations, starting from the date of assault. Other exceptions may apply based on your personal circumstances. Thus, it’s imperative that you talk to one of our legal experts and verify just how long you have if you are interested in filing an OYO Rooms accident claim.

Help from a Hotel Negligence Accident Attorney

With the rising popularity of online marketplaces for rental properties, it’s essential that these companies exercise reasonable care in the inspection and maintenance of the units listed on their site. It’s not enough to say that liability for an accident is strictly on the property owner when you are making a direct profit off the listing on your site. This is why OYO can be sued when someone staying at one of their properties ends up with injuries and/or property damage due to negligent circumstances.

Our legal team is comprised of lawyers with decades of experience in liability claims against OYO, Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, and other hotel booking sites. We are more than prepared to fight for the compensation you deserve, no matter where you are in the legal process. Even if you are in the middle of a lawsuit, please consider meeting with us for a free second opinion. This is a completely free consultation where you can obtain another lawyer’s advice on any questions or concerns you have about your case.

At the end of the day, the legal system is difficult to navigate when you have been wronged by a multinational corporation. Please be assured that we are with you every step of the way on the journey to recovery.

We Charge $0 Upfront

As a contingency-based law firm, we believe that victims should not be burdened with the problem of how to pay for a lawyer that can help them sue for an accident on someone else’s property. That’s why we have always offered the Zero Fee Guarantee, a system where all legal fees are deferred until the end of your case. At that point, a percentage of your settlement will be used to cover the cost of representing you. This only happens if we win your case, so if you don’t get paid from an OYO Hotels injury claim, you owe us $0.
