Claim Damages For Accidents In Hotels, Bars or Clubs

Get in touch

It is an unfortunate fact that there is a risk of personal injury anywhere, and the place where the accident takes place can define who is responsible.

If you suffer an accident in a hotel, bar or pub, it is generally the owner who is responsible. After all, they have a duty of care towards their customers. If they fail in that duty, they could be liable for hotel accident claims.

Hotels and bars can be risky places. The combination of dimmed lights, easily spilt drinks, alcohol and high spirits increases the risk of falling, slipping or being injured by broken glass.

Bar and hotel owners need to take reasonable steps to reduce this risk. These can include:

  • Ensuring empty glasses and bottles are tidied away.
  • Cleaning up spillages promptly.
  • Make sure floors are free of trip hazards.

The occupiers’ liability law means they must take steps to reduce risks. 

Making a hotel accident injury compensation claim

You generally have three years to make a personal injury claim, however, if you are making a hotel accident injury compensation claim, it makes sense to start the claim as quickly as possible.

This makes it easier to investigate the circumstances of the accident and gather evidence. It also reduces the chances that businesses will change hands, which can complicate matters.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers will be able to support you every step of the way, from the initial meeting to agreeing and receiving compensation.

Overseas hotel injury claims

If you have been injured on holiday, you can still make the claim in Scotland.

However, our courts will look at local standards when deciding who is responsible.

These standards may be lower than the UK.
