Whether your hotel stay is a home away from home or just a place to get some sleep in between days of work, travel, or relaxation, you have a right to expect the premises of that hotel to be reasonably safe and free of undisclosed hazards. If hotel management violates that right and allows you to sustain a serious injury on their property, you may have grounds to take legal action against them, the facility’s owner, and anyone else who contributed to causing you harm.
As anyone who has tried to pursue this sort of claim in the past could tell you, successfully filing suit against any kind of business in the hospitality industry is far from simple, especially if you try to do it without support from a Mesa hotel accident lawyer. Fortunately, the help you need is available from the capable injury attorneys at Phillips Law Group, where we have years of experience helping people like you get paid fairly after accidents much like yours.
When Is It Possible to Sue Over a Hotel Accident?
As part of their check-in process, many hotels in Mesa and across the state of Arizona require guests to sign liability waivers or otherwise accept some sort of legal fine print that prohibits them from suing over any injury they sustain while on the property. It is important to understand, though, that these waivers generally only cover injuries caused by a guest’s misconduct or hazards that a guest could reasonably expect to encounter while staying somewhere other than home.

All the fine print in the world cannot absolve hotel management of their duty to provide reasonably safe accommodations free of unreasonably dangerous hazards like:
- Elevators that break due to prolonged lack of maintenance
- Broken steps and/or missing handrails in stairwells
- Unmarked flaws in flooring, such as loose carpet or broken tiles
- Subpar electrical wiring leading to burns or electrocution
- Lack of lighting in public areas
- Lack of adequate security to prevent crime from affecting guests
Anyone injured under circumstances like these may be able to step around any liability waiver they signed and file suit over their injuries with help from a Mesa hotel accident attorney.
Getting Paid Fairly Within Filing Deadlines
A successful lawsuit or settlement demand over an accident inside a hotel can include economic and non-economic forms of harm from the accident. Economic damages in cases like this revolve mainly around medical bills and lost work income, but can also include property damage and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Likewise, non-economic damages typically center around physical pain and suffering but may also incorporate various forms of emotional and psychological trauma. No matter what losses a particular hotel injury in Mesa has resulted in, though, it is vital to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after discovering such an injury has occurred, since Arizona Revised Statutes §12-542 typically gives personal injury victims a maximum of two years to file suit after initially sustaining harm.

Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
