What do i doo in a slip and fall incident in a hotel?

There are a few more questions that would need to be answered in order to determine whether you have a good claim.  First is whether the hotel was negligent in failing to warn of or remove the hazard and this depends on how long it was there and whether they knew or should have known about it and therefore should have done something more than they did.  For instance, if the floor was wet, how long was it wet?  You may not know, but you would have to show that they had time to correct it and did nothing.  If they were not negligent, then they cannot be held liable for your injury.  The next question I would ask is how great are your damages.  That is, how badly were you injured?  If you were not hurt badly, then you will probably not receive very much money in lawsuit or settlement, so it may not be worth the effort and you would be unlikely to find a lawyer willing to take on your case.  However, if your injuries required medical treatment, it is much more likely that it is worth pursuing, depending on the extent of the injuries. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation.
