Am I eligible to seek damages from Crowne Plaza Hotels?
If you have been the victim of an accident at a Crowne Plaza Hotel, you will be wondering whether you should make a compensation claim. Of course, you want to make sure you get an amount of money you are entitled to. However, if your experience isn’t very strong you don’t want to put yourself at the risk of wasting time and money, and causing further stress.
Who might have a claim against the hotel for an accident?
These may be…
- Guests
- Visitors to conferences, delivery people, etc
- Staff at the hotel
The three questions below can help you to determine whether you should make a claim for an accident at a Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Who caused the accident?
This is the first question you need to ask yourself. If your compensation claim is to be a successful one, you need to be able to prove that it occurred because of someone else’s error or negligence. You certainly cannot be at fault for the incident occurring if you want to get compensation.
When did the incident happen?
The date of the accident is also important. Did you know that there is actually a three-year time limit on all personal injury cases? Therefore, if your incident occurred more than three years ago you will unfortunately be unable to claim. There are very few exceptions, expect from injuries that occur over time as opposed to being pinpointed to one specific incident. Please note that court proceedings must be issued in this period.
Did you see a medic for your Crowne Plaza injuries?
Last but not least, this is the final question that will help you to determine whether you should go ahead and begin a claim. If you want to have a good chance of getting compensation you must have seen a doctor. After all, the medical report will be the most vital piece of evidence. Without this how are you going to be able to prove that you had an injury at all?
What ways can hotel guests be injured?
There are many different ways someone can get injured at a hotel. We can assist with all types of claims. Read on to find out about the most common.
Claims against Crowne Plaza Hotels for trip and fall injuries
We can secure hotel slip and fall settlements if you have been injured in this manner because of negligence at the Crowne Plaza, for example, if someone washed the floor and did not put a warning sign up.
Claims against Crowne Plaza Hotels for food-borne illnesses
There is nothing pleasant about food poisoning. This is perhaps amongst the more common illnesses people experience while staying at a hotel. If you can prove the illness you sustained happened due to poor food storage, contamination, or something along those lines, you could be entitled to compensation.
Claims against Crowne Plaza Hotels for physical assault or property damage
A lack of security can lead to people being assaulted on the hotel property. The assailant could have been a member of staff or could have happened because staff did not act. Either way, you may be entitled to make a claim if you were to be injured in a hotel in this way.
Claims against Crowne Plaza Hotels for bites by bed bugs
We can also help you make a claim for bed bugs. As well as being very irritating in the moment whilst on holiday, they can get into your clothing and on your person and be carried home with you.
Claims against Crowne Plaza Hotels for elevator, stair, or escalator accidents
People can suffer injuries or harm in a lift or on an escalator if there is a malfunction or a member of staff operates them incorrectly. Whilst these types of accidents and injuries are uncommon, they can and do happen. On occasion they have been fatal.
Claims against Crowne Plaza Hotels when burned or scalded
Burns and scalds can happen due to foods or drinks being served too hot or through carelessness on the behalf of the person serving them. They can also happen if there was been damage to the shower and boiling water has come out of it.
Faulty equipment or damaged furnishings which cause harm
Faulty furnishing can also be to blame for an accident in a hotel room. You may also need to claim if you were injured while at the spa or while using any of the other hotel facilities.
How to start your compensation claim against a hotel
Irrespective of what situation applies to you and what injuries you have sustained, read on for some top tips on ensuring you have a strong case and get the compensation you deserve…
- Make a claim as soon as possible – The sooner you make a claim for the accident you have suffered the better. There is actually a three-year time limit on personal injury cases and court proceedings must be issued within this time frame. You also may find it more difficult to make a claim if you leave it too long, as gathering evidence will prove troublesome.
- Get witness contact details – Witness statements can be excellent in terms of evidence. If anyone witnessed the incident in question you should simply make sure to get his or her name, address and telephone number.
- See a medical professional – A lot of people bypass a trip to see the doctor when they have only suffered a minor injury. This is because they would rather handle the injury themselves. However, if you do this you are going to seriously hinder your chances of a successful claim. The medical report is undoubtedly one of the most pivotal pieces of evidence.
- Retain proof of your expenses – You should reatain proof of all expenses you have encountered which came about as a direct result of the accident. This can be from medical expenses, to the cost of counselling, to loss of income, to childcare fees and more.
- Contact Our Accident Advice Helpline – Last but not least, all you need to do is get in touch with Legal Expert and we will handle everything for you. We have plenty of experience in the industry. All of our solicitors work on a No Win, No Fee basis as well and thus you can be certain that you will benefit from a top quality service.
What forms of damages could I claim?
Have you sustained an injury through no fault of your own? If so, you will want to know: how much compensation will you receive? Of course every case is different. However, compensation is split into two parts, and by learning a bit more about these you will have a better idea of how much you could be entitled to. So, keep on reading to find out more…
First of all, you will be compensated for the injury you have suffered. This money is known as general damages. It is calculated based on the severity of your injury. How has the injury impacted your life? Are you going to suffer lifelong effects? These are the sort of questions that will be asked in order to determine the amount you should get for your physical suffering.
The second part of compensation is known as special damages. What are special damages? Well, they are essentially out of pocket expenses. Have you suffered a loss of income due to your inability to work because of the injury? Have you had to pay hospital parking whilst visiting your doctor? Have you had to fund treatment and prescriptions? You will be compensated for any costs you have encountered because of the accident. However, you will need to have proof, thus make sure you keep receipts and such like.
