Representing Injured Guests Across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley

Hotels are expected to provide safe and secure accommodations for their guests.

Manoukian Law Firm, P.C., located in Woodland Hills, CA, represents individuals who have been injured at hotels throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. The firm provides strategic legal representation to hold negligent parties responsible and secure full compensation for injured guests.

Common Hotel Hazards and Injuries

Hotel properties include a wide range of areas—lobbies, hallways, elevators, pools, gyms, restaurants, and parking lots. Each of these spaces must be properly maintained and monitored. Common hazards include:

  • Slippery floors due to spills or poor cleaning practices
  • Broken stairs, handrails, or uneven flooring
  • Inadequate lighting in hallways or outdoor areas
  • Faulty elevators or escalators
  • Unsecured pool areas or lack of supervision
  • Defective furniture or fixtures
  • Bedbug infestations or unsanitary conditions
  • Assaults due to negligent security or unlocked entrances

These conditions can lead to serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, spinal damage, burns, infections, and emotional distress. Manoukian Law Firm, P.C. works with medical professionals and safety experts to document injuries and establish liability.

Legal Responsibility Under California Law

Hotel owners and operators are considered “business invitees” under California premises liability law. This means they owe guests the highest duty of care. Under Civil Code § 1714, property owners must maintain safe conditions and warn of known hazards. Liability may arise when:

  • The hotel knew or should have known about a dangerous condition
  • The hotel failed to repair or warn about the hazard
  • The unsafe condition directly caused the injury

In addition to the hotel itself, other parties may share responsibility:

  • Property management companies overseeing maintenance
  • Security contractors failing to provide adequate protection
  • Cleaning or maintenance staff creating or ignoring hazards
  • Third-party vendors operating restaurants, gyms, or spas on-site

Manoukian Law Firm, P.C. investigates each case thoroughly to identify all responsible parties and pursue claims through insurance or litigation.
