My Hand was Smashed in a Hotel Auto-Closing Door

I Smashed My Hand in the Auto-Closing Door at the Hotel. Is the Hotel Liable?

If you have smashed your hand in an auto-closing door at a hotel, the first thing you want to do is consult a doctor.  This will ensure verifiable documentation of your injuries.  Detailing and documenting your injuries is essential if you plan to file a premise injury claim.  Kerner Law Group, P.C. has years of experience winning premise injury cases just like yours.  We can review your case and create a plan to move forward.

Premise Liability

Premise Liability means that property owners must keep their property safe from dangerous hazards, conditions, and situations. In addition, it is the responsibility of the property owner to warn tenants and visitors of any and all potentially hazardous conditions.  Should an injury result from failure to do so the property owner is liable (responsible) for that injury.

Filing a claim

To successfully file a premise liability claim, you must prove four key elements. We are here to help you establish these fundamentals:

Injury – You must be able to prove damages or injury, typically confirmed by a physician.  That is why it is crucial you see a doctor in a timely manner to treat your injuries.  A record of your pain and injuries constitutes evidence that you were injured when filing a claim.

Negligence – Evidence that the hotel knew or should have known that the auto-closing door could cause injury constitutes negligence on their part.  Negligence attests that the hotel had time and opportunity to address the issue, yet failed to do so.  Property owners are allowed a reasonable amount of time to address dangerous problems.  In some cases, it can be challenging to establish how long a hazardous condition has been present.  We can help you establish this timeline; we have the necessary resources to search it out.

Proximate Cause – Our firm will commit resources to investigate your accident site and obtain witness testimony.  It will be necessary to prove that the faulty auto-closing door directly caused your injury.  For this reason, we will acquire your medical records.  We will collect all the necessary evidence to establish negligence on behalf of the hotel directly resulting in your injury.
