The hotel may have insurance coverage called "med-pay" that may pay some or all of your medical expenses. Ask the hotel to put you in touch with their insurance carrier and ask if the hotel has "med-pay" coverage & if they do, how much. Tell the insurer you would like to make a "med-pay" claim, if this coverage is available. Otherwise, your complaint is against the person who assaulted you, & even if you won in court, it would difficult to collect unless he is wealthy.
