More details to this question:
We were checking out, coming down two flights of stairs. We got to the final flight and the concrete step crumbled and gave way causing her to fall, crushing her foot and causing an ambulance ride. I've got pictures and documentation from the hospital, but when we tried to handle the incident report with the hotel, they have failed to call us back or anything. It happened in Amarillo Texas, but we live in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

That sounds like a terrible event. The owner of the hotel owed its guests a duty to provide a reasonably safe environment during their stay. The owner should have warned of hidden dangers and/or maintained the premises is a reasonably safe fashion. A crumbling concrete step would fit into that category. Where there any warning cones or signs up? Was the step visibly damaged before the fall? So sorry your wife had to go through this event and was hurt.
