Q: Are hotels responsible for criminal acts that take place on their property?

A:Simply put, yes.  Though the hotel may deny responsibility in the hopes that you just go away, the truth is they are responsible for what happens on their property if they knew or should have known there were risks to their guests.  Premises liability isn't just about slip and fall cases.  Premises liability cases involve clients who have been victims of assault, robbery, gunshot wounds, or rape due to a property owner’s negligence in providing adequate security measures. Faulty alarm systems, insufficient lighting, malfunctioning security gates all contribute to conditions that foster dangerous crimes and often result in critical injuries, and in the worst scenarios, death.

We design the best plan to prove negligence on the part of the property owner, a plan that includes the most expert testimony, and we secure jury awards that other law firms can’t compete with. That’s why other lawyers send these cases to us. We try them and we win.
