Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Well you can start with the manager, but most hotels (at least a chain) will probably have their legal counsel contact you. You may just want to consult with an attorney now and let them handle it for you.

You should talk to an attorney first. Was the accident reported to the hotel? Do you have a witness? What caused the accident? Good luck.

Your circumstances will determine the best course of action for you. Consulting an attorney can be helpful to determine whether you have a potential claim or not.

A business, such as a hotel, is generally not liable for your injuries and resulting bills--even if they occurred on the property-- unless the business itself was negligent, and that negligence caused your damages. For example, if you fell because a condition of the property was dangerous, and the fall resulted in injuries, then the hotel may be responsible for your damages, including medical bills.

If, on the other hand, you fell on the hotel property because of your own actions, and the fall was not caused or contributed to by the hotel's act or failure to act, then generally the hotel would not be responsible for paying your bills.

Consulting an attorney to discuss your options and legal rights may be helpful.
