Planning a vacation this summer?
Whether you’re booking a hotel, a lakeside Airbnb, or staying at a resort, itโs important to understand your rights as a guest. Property owners – including short-term rental hosts – are legally obligated to maintain safe conditions for visitors. If youโre injured due to negligent upkeep, you may be entitled to compensation.
Common rental and hotel hazards include:
- Broken or rotting staircases
- Inadequate pool fencing or supervision
- Wet floors without warning signage
- Poorly lit walkways or unsecured rugs
- Malfunctioning smoke or carbon monoxide detectors
Should you or a loved one be injured, act quickly:
- Document the scene and any visible injuries
- Report the incident to the owner or manager
- Seek medical attention
- Contact an experienced personal injury attorney

We understand how overwhelming it can feel to deal with an injury away from home, and weโre here to help you navigate the legal process with compassion and clarity.
