Are Airbnb Hosts Responsible for My Injuries?
Much like other premises liability matters, Airbnb hosts have a duty of care to maintain a safe home during a renter’s stay. If there is something that needs repairs, such as a stairwell, malfunctioning appliances, or even a slippery floor, it is the host’s responsibility to do their due diligence to repair it in a timely manner.
When property owners cut corners on costs and fail to make these necessary repairs to keep their guests safe, it can potentially lead to an accident. Under these circumstances, you may be able to hold them responsible for the injuries you sustained as a result of their negligence.
Common Airbnb Accident Causes
There are many types of accidents that can happen and many conditions that cause them. Here are some of the most common causes of Airbnb accidents:
- Broken stairs
- Loose rugs or torn carpeting
- Inadequate lighting
- Overly waxed or polished floors
- Stairways without handrails
- Wet floors
- Cluttered walkways
- Uneven flooring
- Unsafe amenities
- Unsanitary conditions
These are not the only hazards one might encounter at an Airbnb. Attorney Joseph H. Low IV will work with you to determine if the host of your Airbnb could be held liable for your injuries.
Determining Who Was Responsible for Your Injuries
When it comes to Airbnb accidents and injuries, the homeowner and company may try to point the finger at one another. However, what really matters is who owns the property, who controls it, and who possesses it.
If you were injured during your stay at an Airbnb in Long Beach, there are some steps you can take in the aftermath of the accident to help build your case:
- Take pictures the area where you had your accident and any unsafe conditions that may have led to it
- If your injuries are visible, take pictures of them
- Report the accident to whoever has authority, such as the landlord, host, or Airbnb
It is also essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible to protect your health and to gather evidence for your case. If you wait hold off on medical attention, your injuries could worsen, and could have a negative impact on your case.
