Hard Rock Hotels is a chain of luxury hotels, resorts, and casinos with locations all over the world. The hotels are based on the iconic Hard Rock Café, a chain of bar-restaurants that was founded in London in the 1970s. Music and related memorabilia are major themes at every Hard Rock Hotels location, though you don’t have to know anything about music to enjoy the bars, lounges, nightclubs, restaurants, pool parties and other amenities that are offered.
Those who book a room or suite at a Hard Rock Hotel want a fun and vibrant experience that they’ll never forget. Sadly, an unexpected injury can put a stop to all that, whether you hurt yourself from a fall or you are beaten up during a robbery. If you were injured due to conditions that had the potential to cause an accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation from the hotel.
As an accident victim, you need information on how to file a claim against the hotel and obtain compensation for the harm you suffered. A Hard Rock Hotel accident attorney is here to help with all your questions and concerns, so contact our office as soon as possible.

Accidents at a Hotel
There are countless ways that people can be injured while staying at a hotel, but some accidents are more common than others. Here are some examples of accidents that are caused by a hotel’s failure to exercise reasonable care:
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Hit in the head by a falling object
- Crushed under debris from a ceiling or roof collapse
- Bitten by bed bugs
- Electric shocks and burns
- Food poisoning in hotel restaurant
- Choking on foreign object found in food
- Drowning in hotel pool
- Gym equipment injuries
- Accident in hotel parking lot
People at the Hard Rock Hotel can also be assaulted by another guest, a staff member, or someone that’s on the property with criminal intent. Most cases of physical or sexual assault at a hotel are traced to a lack of security, whether it’s a failure to install enough surveillance cameras or careless behavior by the employees. In some cases, you have security personnel that use excessive violence and end up causing severe injury or death. Our lawyers can help you file an assault and battery lawsuit against Hard Rock Hotels, which you can learn more about during a free, private consultation.
Your Right to Sue for being Injured at a Hotel
If you were hurt at the Hard Rock Hotel due to a condition that had the potential to cause injury, you may have grounds to file a claim for monetary damages. However, not every case of injury is eligible for compensation, as you will need to show:
- The hazard was something that the hotel could have resolved through reasonable means
- The hazard was a problem that the hotel knew about, or had reason to know about
Essentially, California’s premises liability laws require owners to inspect and maintain their properties in order to minimize the possibility of an accident. So, if you slipped on a drink that someone had spilled on the floor while you were at the hotel restaurant, the hotel breached their duty of care to you, which makes them liable for the injuries you sustained.
As we mentioned before, hotels must also ensure that guests are protected from criminal incidents, particularly assault and battery. A failure to provide adequate security is another aspect of premises liability that can serve as grounds for a lawsuit. Or, you may have been assaulted by a member of security at the hotel, even though there was no legal justification for them to put their hands on you.
In conclusion, there are many ways that negligence by hotel owners and staff can lead to injuries for guests and visitors. The Hard Rock Hotels accident injury lawyers of Normandie are here to guide you through the legal process. Contact our office and learn about your rights and legal options during a free consultation.

A hotel injury lawsuit attorney can verify the damages you can ask for and calculate a settlement amount that’s based on the unique details of your accident. That way, you can be sure of getting every penny you deserve from a Hard Rock Hotel injury claim.
Statute of Limitations for a Hotel Accident Injury Claim
There is a specific deadline that applies to all lawsuits in California, whether you are suing for a slip and fall or a car crash in the hotel parking lot. For the most part, accident cases have a deadline of 2 years, so this is how long you have to file a lawsuit against Hard Rock Hotels, starting from when you had the accident. This deadline also applies to lawsuits for assault and battery, like injuries caused by a security guard, of if you were beaten up by someone that broke into your hotel room.
However, sexual assault cases are exempt from this rule, as adult victims of sexual abuse have 10 years to file a claim with the liable entities. If the incident occurred while the victim was a minor, meaning they were younger than 18, the stature of limitations is based on whichever of these dates comes later:
- The date of the victim’s 40th birthday
- 5 years from when the victim realizes a physical or mental health condition that resulted from sex abuse during childhood.
Based on your circumstances, it can be challenging to figure out the amount of time you have for a personal injury lawsuit. To confirm the statute of limitations that applies to your case, give us a call here at our law firm.
