Recent Hyatt Hotel Accidents

Negligent Security At Hyatt In Bahamas Leads To A 15-Year-Old Being Raped

One of the many cases that our law firm is in the process of handling stems from a rape in the Bahamas that was, in part, due to the alleged negligent security provided by the Hyatt staff during the 15-year old victim’s stay at Baha Mar Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. The assailant was not a guest of the hotel, nor did he have any business being on the premises. In fact, he was a known drug dealer in the area and the victim’s parents allege in the criminal complaint that Hyatt knew or should have known his dangerous motive(s) that led to such a horrific event.

The family has filed a lawsuit based on the fact that there was virtually no security at the hotel to block the assailant’s attempt at entering the premises or to protect the underaged guest from this unwanted and violent intruder.

Situations like this happen all across the world, and victims often find that those responsible — in this case, the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar Resort — fight aggressively against any attempt by a victim to recover fair compensation for their avoidable suffering. When working with an award-winning team like the lawyers at Lipcon, Margulies, and Winkleman, P.A., you can stay focused on healing from such a traumatic and painful event while we fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

California Boy Falls From 9th Floor of Hyatt Hotel in Mexico and Dies

In October of 2021, a 3-year old boy from California fell to his death from the 9th floor of the Hyatt Hotel in Puerto Vallarta while on a holiday trip with his parents. The boy slipped through a large gap between the metal safety bars of a railing on a balcony and was pronounced dead at the scene.

In situations where safety features like metal bars on balcony railings are faulty or defective, victims or the surviving family members can seek compensation from the at-fault party — commonly the property owner or manager depending on contractual agreements and expectations. Regardless of the party that is ultimately named in the civil complaint, though, it is important to work with a team of personal injury attorneys who will fight for the compensation you rightfully deserve by pursuing the maximum damages allowable under the law.

Losing a child due to something so easily avoidable is unacceptable, and those responsible must be held accountable for such an egregious failure to keep small children safe on the premises.

Boat Accident at Hyatt Hotels in West Maui, Hawaii

In 2007, a whale-watching catamaran operated by Hyatt Hotels encountered strong winds off Kahana Beach on West Maui. The crew reported by radio that the Ki’ele 5’s mast had snapped in the strong winds, stranding 55 people at sea. Witnesses said the catamaran was sinking, and many of the passengers were already in the water when other boats arrived to help. One passenger, a 48-year-old man from Illinois, was killed when he was struck in the head by the falling rigging, and two others were hospitalized with suspected hypothermia. Coast Guard officials who responded to the scene reported rough ocean conditions, including six-foot waves and 20 to 30 mph winds. Factors that would be relevantin a wrongful death suit would be whether or not the hotel allowed the excursion in unsafe conditions, whether the catamaran was properly maintained, and the level of experience of the boat operator.  Notably, this is a tragedy that covers the interplay between Maritime law and land based negligence laws, because the incident occurred on the water, but involved hotel guests.  This is precisely the type of legal interplay that we have predicated our firm’s tradition on.

Water Slide Accident at Hyatt Regency in Guam

In July 2020, a family from Michigan stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Guam. A boy in the family was using a water slide at the hotel when his finger was partially severed. The family filed a lawsuit against Hyatt, alleging that the hotel’s negligence and failure to properly maintain the water slide caused the boy’s traumatic amputation and the resulting permanent disfigurement. The lawsuit alleges that the water slides were improperly installed, the hotel did not provide adequate warning of hazards or instruct guests on the safe use of the slides, and no lifeguards were present to monitor patrons.  We have successfully handled many similar water park injury cases and they almost invariably involve a significant level of negligence of the part of the company running the water park.

Hotel Fall Accident at Hyatt Regency in Sydney, Australia

In May 2020, a 45-year-old woman fell to her death from the balcony of a Hyatt Regency hotel room in Sydney, Australia. The woman fell ten stories after being locked outside by her boyfriend after an argument. She had a history of depression and other mental health issues, and the couple’s relationship reportedly involved domestic violence. It was unknown whether the fall was accidental or intentional, but hotels have a duty to provide reasonably safe premises for their guests. Potential liabilities may be an unsafe height of the balcony railing, problems with the door lock, or other factors that may have caused or contributed to the incident.
