Can I Sue the Hotel for my Injuries?
If the hotel played a role in causing or contributing to your accident, either through negligence or misconduct, then yes, you have the right to sue the business for monetary compensation. By “hotel,” we are not talking about the actual building, but the people that own and operate the property. These include the company, as well as the people that work at the hotel. For example, unsafe food handling in the kitchen can cause food to be contaminated and result in food poisoning for one or more guests.
You also have situations that can be blamed on lack of, or insufficient security. For instance, many hotels have broken security cameras and lights with missing bulbs, and these can put people at risk of being raped or physically assaulted. Security guards can also be responsible for injuries to a guest when they fail to exercise good judgment and resort to violence without legal justification.
Whatever the circumstance, you must show evidence that the hotel failed to take care of hazardous conditions that they knew about, or would have known about had they performed regular inspections and maintenance of the property. Hotels can also be liable for incidents of injury caused by their employees, like a hotel waitress that burns a guest by spilling coffee on them.
As each case involves its own set of details, it’s essential to meet with an Omni hotel guest injury lawyer and figure out the exact cause of your accident, along with the actions you can take against the business owner.
Restitution for Accident or Assault Victims
Whether you slipped and fell on the ground or had an accident in a golf cart, it’s essential to know about the compensation you can receive from an accident claim. The exact damages and the amount you are entitled to will vary from one case to another. However, hotel negligence injury victims generally receive some or all of these payments:
- Medical expenses, including cost of therapy for emotional trauma
- Lost wages (and/or lost earning capacity)
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Attorney’s fees
- Punitive damages

By What Date do I have to File my Claim?
The California Courts impose a 2-year deadline on lawsuits based on negligence by a business owner or those in their employment. Thus, you have 24 months to submit an injury claim against Omni Hotels and Resorts. Please be aware that the courts rarely allow people to file a lawsuit beyond this point, so it’s very important that you initiate a claim as soon as possible. We are here to guide you every step of the way, so contact us right away to schedule a free case review.
Exception for Sexual Assault Lawsuits
We stated in the previous section that the statute of limitations to sue Omni Hotels is 2 years from when the incident occurred. This is true – except in the case of sexual assault, which has a deadline of 10 years if you were an adult at the time. For sexual assault of a minor at a hotel, the time limit is whenever the victim turns 40, so in essence, you have 22 years from the age of adulthood to file a child sexual assault lawsuit.
Even if a survivor of sexual assault during childhood is over 40, they may be eligible for a lawsuit according to California’s Assembly Bill 218. This legislation has a discovery rule that allows victims to sue for monetary damages within 5 years of discovering a physical or mental injury related to sexual abuse. It does not matter how old you are at the moment of discovery, so yes, even those who are over 40 may have the chance to sue the Omni Hotels and Resorts for sexual abuse of a minor
