Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Jersey

Can a hotel be held responsible for personal injury?

While staying in a hotel I was bitten by a tick. I removed the tick & gave it to the hotel manager & requested they make note of the incident in there log book. I became ill, was seen by my family Physician who had me have a lyme Titer drawen & tested for Lyme Disease. The test came back Positive. I am curently undergoing medical treatment for the Lyme Bacteria in my system. My Physician sugested I ''fax a copy of the Lyme test to the hotel so that they are aware of the seriousness of this situation''. I received the test results to fax yesterday 8/13/2004. I have not done so yet because I am uncertain as to what action to take. I am a registered nurse that has worked in critical care areas for 13 years & am aware of the affects Lyme Disease can have on various body systems. The mental anguish & pain I am currently undergoing is dishearting to me & I would appreiate any assistance you may beable to offer...Thank you for your time.
