Our Experience Suing Hilton Hotels

Our firm has successfully handled and is currently handling a large number of cases against Hilton Hotels. We recently settled a case for a confidential amount after our client slipped and fell in the lobby of a Hilton hotel. We successfully argued that Hilton was responsible for the water that our client had slipped on, which was caused by condensation dripping from an air conditioning unit overhead.

Types of Accidents at Hotels

A serious injury possibility may seem unimaginable as you are checking into a well-known hotel chain such as Hilton. However, the following examples indicate that there is always a risk of a serious personal injury as a result of a hotel’s failure to keep you safe. While no amount of money will ever undo the pain, suffering, and trauma of this type of situation, nobody should need to take on the financial burdens of the hotel’s failures as a result of an accident. This is why it is so important to partner with an experienced personal injury law firm to fight for the compensation you rightfully deserve.

The following is a list of just a handful of the many different ways that someone can be injured while staying at a Hilton Hotel. Whether or not your injury is mentioned below, contact our law firm right away to connect with a Hilton Hotel accident lawyer to learn all about your legal options for a personal injury lawsuit or claim.

Premises Liability Claims Against a Hilton Worldwide Hotel

Hilton Hotels owe guests a duty of reasonable care to maintain a safe premises in order to avoid slip and fall accidents and other injuries caused by dangerous conditions that staff should have been aware of and taken steps to correct. A slip and fall is the most common type of premises liability-related injury, but there are many others. A shower accident caused by a broken handrail, a victim being bitten by bed bugs, or other issues that the management should have been responsible for addressing are all generally addressed under the category of premises liability law.

Hilton Worldwide Accident Lawsuit Compensation

After an accident at a Hilton Hotel property, victims often have the right to compensation for a range of damages. These include things like medical expenses and lost wages, but often extend beyond that, even though insurers will avoid acknowledging this fact, and will often push back on paying anything other than the most obvious losses.

Compensatory damages will account for both current medical bills and future expenses, as well as long-term impacts to a victim’s earnings including things like 401k contributions, retirement savings, and more. In addition, they will include the cost of goods or services that a victim requires as they work to recover, such as therapy costs, assistive devices, and anything else that the attorney can prove is connected to the accident.

In addition to these economic damages, there is another set of damages known as “non-economic damages” that seek compensation for impacts that do not have dollar values. These include things like the actual pain and suffering damages that  a victim experiences as a result of their injuries, as well as the emotional impacts of a painful injury and the fear that comes with medical treatment. Things like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder are all important damages that must be accounted for.

Recent Accidents that Occurred at Hilton Hotels

The following cases all involve recent accidents that occurred at Hilton properties. Not all of these cases have concluded and some information may not be available to the public at this time.

One Child Drowns and Another Injured At DoubleTree Hotel Pool in Memphis

In late January 2022, an unthinkable tragedy unfolded at the DoubleTree Hotel in East Memphis: a child was left in critical condition but breathing after life-saving CPR from bystanders after drowning in a pool, and another was found by first responders unresponsive at the bottom of an outdoor swimming pool and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Witnesses stated that a lone individual was tasked with watching roughly 30 children at a pool party when she stepped away momentarily. In this instance, one child began to drown at the pool and bystanders rushed to assist. This child was transported to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in critical condition.

When first responders arrived to the call, they discovered that another child from the party was unaccounted for, and was found at the bottom of an outside pool away from the area of the original incident. This child, unfortunately, did not survive.

Situations like this are tragic, and working with an experienced legal team to navigate the complicated and often overwhelming process of working through a personal injury or wrongful death case is one of the best decisions that the surviving family can make. When a lawyer is handling your case, you can stay focused on what truly matters the most: healing and supporting each other through this difficult time.

We have successfully handled numerous drowning cases and our relentless advocacy led to many cruise ships companies placing lifeguards at the pools aboard their cruise ships.

Not All Torts Involve an Accident or Physical Injury

These cases serve as a reminder that the legal definition for “injuries” is often different from the way it is used colloquially. While falling down an elevator shaft is bound to lead to physical injuries, being verbally threatened at a resort may not. Both types of incidents, however, are legally actionable.  We so often hear from potential clients who tell us their stories.  They often think we cannot help or they do not have a case, but they are far too often wrong.  We are lucky to live in a country like the USA where there is a thriving, independent legal system.  Do not ever assume you do not have a case.  If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t right.  So  speak with an experienced attorney to determine if you have a viable case.  Remember, our consultations are completely confidential and absolutely free.
