If you or a loved one suffered an injury while staying in a New York hotel or motel, you could take legal action against the property owner or manager who runs the facility. Under what is generally termed as “premises liability,” property owners and managers are legally responsible for keeping guests on their premises safe from harm and they may be held liable for injuries that occur.
At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we advocate for the injured. If you would like to pursue compensation, a personal injury lawyer from our firm will organize an investigation into your hotel accident, then file your case in New York. During a free consultation, our team member will discuss with you further how we prepare cases for clients.

The Statute of Limitations Could Affect Several Aspects of Your Case
New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 is the statute of limitations in New York, meaning it sets the legal time frame a plaintiff has to file their personal injury case. When called for, a lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will help you by filing a legal action, but we would be able to only do so within the legal filing period, or your case will be dismissed.
There are exceptions to the statutory deadline, so you might be able to “toll” (i.e., extend,) your case’s due date, depending on the circumstances of your hotel accident. For instance, if your child was injured in the hotel lobby while you were on vacation in New York City, we are able to help you, even if you live out of state. Cases involving minors are able to have the statutory deadline extended to when they become of legal age to take civil action.
Our legal team will explain the rules around filing your personal injury case and help you determine how much time you have left to file your lawsuit.

Our Law Firm Handles Various Types of Hotel Accident Cases
We have worked with clients who were hurt in various ways on hotel and motel property in New York City. No matter how your injury occurred, our personal injury lawyers will help you identify the responsible party or parties for your New York hotel accident.
We have helped clients win compensation for the following types of hotel injuries and more:
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
A slip and fall or a trip and fall accident at a hotel could occur:
- On the sidewalk
- On a stairwell with a loose or missing step
- In an elevator
- In the parking lot
- In your hotel room
We will investigate your accident and determine if it was caused by a hazardous condition that the hotel management should have addressed.
Pool Accidents
Many hotels offer pools to their guests. While this amenity provides fun and recreation, it could also present many dangers, especially when you consider that many hotels do not employ lifeguards.
Criminal Acts
Unlike residential neighborhoods, hotels and motels are highly transient, opening up guests to encounter individuals who could have criminal intent. Moreover, hotels seldom if ever perform background checks on guests, meaning the guest in the room next to you might have a felony rap sheet a mile long, and you would never know.
If you were the victim of a criminal act on hotel property, legal action against the hotel owner or managers may be indicated if they failed to take steps they should taken have to protect you.
Auto Accidents
If you suffered injuries in an auto accident that occurred in the hotel’s parking lot or parking garage, we will help you pursue compensation from potentially liable parties like the at-fault driver or the hotel property manager.
These structures could try to cram too many cars into too small of a space and provide little to no control over the flow of traffic. When this kind of negligence leads to an accident, we will work hard to hold the property owner liable.
Recreational Activities
Hotel guests could also get hurt while engaging in recreational activities on hotel premises if the facility does not give proper warning or safety equipment to guests. Recreational activities that could lead to an injury include:
- Ziplining
- Snorkeling
- Swimming
- Surfing and other water sports activities
If a hotel did not provide proper safety equipment or instruction for you to engage in a recreational activity safely, we will review relevant laws to see if we are able to hold them liable for your injuries. If so, we will collect evidence to support your claims and hold them accountable for their negligence.
