Q: I was assaulted in my room in a hotel. Do I have reason to file a lawsuit?
A: Maybe. A suit against the hotel would have to show that the hotel breached some duty to keep you safe. This can be shown in various ways, and would be highly dependent upon your particular facts and the situation of the hotel and how they handled issues regarding safety of their guests. The extent of the injury will also have an impact on the feasibility of an attorney taking up the matter against the hotel.
A: Depends on the circumstances. Contact a member of the Ks. Assn for Justice for the county where it happened (or if in another state, that state's Assn for Justice)--they give free consults.
