Slip and Fall at Marriott

Marriott Hotels and Resorts is the flagship brand of full-service hotels and resorts that falls under Marriott International. The company, which is headquartered in Washington, D.C., has 566 hotels and resorts that operate under the brand. With such a large number of hotels, there are likely thousands of guests who stay at the hotel daily. Given the extremely high number of guests, hotel employees may sometimes overlook spills that may cause guests to slip, trip and fall. Marriott employees have a duty to make certain that the guests are kept safe during their stay at the hotel.

What Kind of Injuries Have Marriott Guests Sustained?

Most slip and fall accidents at Marriott do not result in severe or critical injuries. However, at times serious injuries can occur. For instance, guests may slip, trip and fall due to the slippery surface in or around swimming pools, which can be very dangerous.

If the perimeter area of a swimming pool is excessively smooth, guests can fall. Frequently, these types of surfaces are partially made of concrete, and a guest who falls can suffer severe injuries, such as broken bones and head trauma. Furthermore, incorrectly marked steps inside a pool can cause a guest to lose their footing.

If you suffered a serious injury while staying as a guest at Marriott its employees acted negligently, you may be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the hotel. You may be entitled to obtain damages for your injury.

Some of the usual kinds of injuries that individuals suffer in slip and fall accidents are:

• Spinal cord injury
• Ligament tear
• Tendon tear
• Concussion

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium
