Hotel Accident Lawyer Orlando

Curled-up carpets, slippery floors, and other hazards injure people frequently at Orlando-area hotels. If a hotel’s owners or staff knew about and did not repair a hazard, and if you are injured as a result, Florida law entitles you to compensation for your medical costs and related damages.

If you are injured at any Florida hotel, seek medical attention at once. The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to link a specific injury to a specific accident. Report the injury to the hotel, and then immediately arrange to meet with an experienced Orlando injury attorney.

This is important: Do not sign any document provided by the hotel or by the hotel’s insurance company before you’ve consulted with a personal injury attorney. Do not agree to anything or accept any settlement offer before you have obtained an injury attorney’s advice.

You may be offered a quick settlement – for far less than your injury claim is worth. Do not accept it. Your lawyer can almost certainly negotiate a better deal for you. If you take a quick settlement offer, you will waive your right to additional compensation or further legal action.

The lawyers for the Orlando-area hotels are prepared to go to court the moment someone is injured on a hotel’s premises. They are savvy attorneys who have considerable experience at avoiding and contesting personal injury claims.

The larger Orlando hotels have defended themselves against personal injury claims scores of times over the years, so you’re going to need help from Page and Eichenblatt who have extensive experience bringing personal injury claims against these hotels and their corporate owners.

If you are injured because a hotel’s owners or staff are negligent, you are entitled by Florida law to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and related damages. And even though Florida’s statute of limitations gives you four years to take legal action, you must act promptly.

Taking swift action is imperative in personal injury cases because, over time, evidence can deteriorate. So can the memories of witnesses. Putting an experienced Orlando hotel accident lawyer on your case as quickly as possible is the best way to prevail with an injury claim.

Page & Eichenblatt will investigate your injury and the accident that caused it. We gather evidence and question witnesses to determine precisely what happened and exactly who’s responsible. If they’re needed, we’ll ask expert witnesses to help clarify the details.

Many of the injury claims filed against Florida hotels are settled in private, out-of-court negotiations involving the attorneys for both sides. When the evidence of a hotel’s negligence is conclusive, the hotels typically prefer to settle – and to avoid the potential bad publicity.

But if your injury claim is disputed by the hotel – and if no out-of-court settlement is available – the injury attorneys at Page & Eichenblatt are ready to protect your rights in court and to fight aggressively for every dollar of compensation that an injury victim needs and deserves.

Your initial consultation is a vital first step in understanding your legal options. During this meeting, you can expect:

• A compassionate, in-depth conversation: Our attorneys will listen to your story, ask detailed questions, and gather information about the accident and your injuries.

• Case evaluation: We will assess the circumstances of your case to determine the best legal strategy moving forward.

• Clear explanation of your legal rights: We will explain Florida’s personal injury laws, how they apply to your situation, and what to expect from the legal process.

• Answers to your questions: We encourage you to ask any questions about timelines, potential outcomes, and the steps involved in filing a claim.

• Guidance on next steps: If you decide to proceed, we’ll outline how we’ll begin working on your case immediately.

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary based on several factors:

• Severity of Injuries: More serious injuries may require extended medical treatment, delaying the settlement until the full impact is known.

• Complexity of the Case: Cases involving multiple parties or disputed liability can take longer to resolve.

• Insurance Company Cooperation: Some insurers may delay or resist fair settlements, requiring prolonged negotiations or litigation.

• Court Schedules: If your case goes to trial, court availability can also affect how long the process takes.

Some cases settle within a few months, while more complex cases could take a year or longer. At Page & Eichenblatt, P.A., we work diligently to expedite your case while ensuring we fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Orlando hotels see thousands of visitors daily, and while many enjoy a safe stay, accidents do happen, often due to negligence. Common hotel-related incidents that lead to personal injury claims include:

• Slip and falls on wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly lit stairwells
  

• Injuries from broken furniture, loose railings, or malfunctioning elevators
  

• Swimming pool accidents, such as lack of supervision, slippery decking, or missing warning signs
  

• Food poisoning from poorly prepared or stored meals

• Assaults or thefts due to inadequate hotel security

Absolutely. Florida law protects both residents and tourists. Whether you're visiting from another state or country, you have the same right to file a personal injury claim if your injury occurred due to a hotel’s negligence in Orlando.

Tourist cases may involve unique challenges, such as:

• Returning home before your case is resolved
  

• Communicating with insurers or the court system from out-of-state
  

• Coordinating medical treatment and legal representation remotely

At Page & Eichenblatt, P.A., we handle injury claims for tourists and travelers. We offer virtual consultations and flexible communication to ensure you receive legal support no matter where you are. Our firm will manage every step of your claim so you can focus on healing.

To succeed in a hotel injury claim in Florida, you must demonstrate that the hotel’s negligence directly caused your injury. This typically involves showing:

1. Duty of Care: The hotel had a legal responsibility to provide a safe environment for guests.
   

2. Breach of Duty: The hotel failed to fulfill that duty by allowing or failing to correct a hazardous condition.
   

3. Causation: That breach directly caused your injury.
   

4. Damages: You suffered actual harm, such as medical expenses, lost income, or pain and suffering.
   

Evidence plays a critical role. We recommend:

• Taking photos of the hazard that caused your injury
  

• Reporting the incident in writing to hotel management
  

• Requesting a copy of any incident reports
  

• Obtaining names and contact info for any witnesses
  

• Keeping records of all medical treatment
  

Not always. Liability depends on whether the hotel was negligent. For example, if you slipped on a freshly mopped floor with no warning signs, the hotel may be liable for failing to warn guests. However, if the danger was obvious or if the hotel took reasonable steps to prevent harm, liability may not apply.

To determine if the hotel was at fault, we examine factors like:

• How long the hazard existed
  

• Whether hotel staff were aware (or should have been aware) of it

• What steps the hotel took (or failed to take) to fix or warn about the danger

Waivers and disclaimers are common in hotels, especially near pools, gyms, or recreational areas. However, signing a waiver does not automatically eliminate your right to sue, especially if the hotel was grossly negligent or failed to maintain basic safety standards.

Florida courts often scrutinize the language and enforceability of waivers. If the waiver was vague or overly broad, not clearly explained, signed under pressure, or attempting to excuse illegal or reckless conduct, it may not hold up in court.

No, filing a personal injury claim typically will not interfere with your vacation or travel plans.

In most cases, filing a personal injury claim in Florida does not require you to delay or cancel any travel. The legal process often moves at a steady pace, and your attorney can handle the majority of the work on your behalf. At Page & Eichenblatt, P.A., we frequently represent clients, both locals and tourists, who file injury claims while managing personal obligations, including travel.

Here’s what to expect:

• Medical care and documentation can begin immediately, and you don’t have to remain in town once treatment is in place.
  

• Your attorney will negotiate with insurers, collect evidence, and file paperwork, allowing you to stay informed without being physically present.
  

• If court appearances or depositions are eventually needed, they can often be scheduled around your availability, or handled remotely, depending on the case.
  

Our legal team ensures your claim progresses smoothly, even if you’re out of town. We’ll coordinate communication, keep you updated, and make sure your rights are protected, without disrupting your life or travel plans.
