Can a hotel be held liable for injuries on premises?
A hotel may be liable if a slip, trip or fall occurs on hotel premises. If someone slips on food or drink in the hotel dining area, or gets hurt due to slippery surface, they may be entitled to compensation. This holds true when the hotel either knew about the problem and was negligent in fixing it, or was unaware, but should have been.
If one slips on city property, can they sue the city?
Municipalities must maintain streets and sidewalks. If you've been injured you may have a successful case against the city if if you have proof that the city failed to maintain the sidewalk properly. There are very important deadlines and procedural requirements, so you may want to speak with an attorney if you believe that the city is liable for your injury.
Are building owners required to have safety precautions in case of fires?
Yes, building owners are required to have a sprinkler system, and posted escape routes. Building owners are responsible for the safety of those living or working in said building.
Is a school or college liable for an attack on a student on campus?
Only in certain cases is a college or school liable for attacks on premises.In a case involving a college campus attack, the courts would ask whether similar attacks had occurred in the past. If so, the court would ask what security precautions the college had taken, and might find that the steps taken were insufficient, holding the college liable.
