Common Causes of Airbnb Injuries in Beverly Hills
Airbnb owners have a responsibility to take all reasonable actions to avoid causing injury to those lawfully on their property. This requires frequent inspections and prompt action to repair safety hazards. Common causes of injuries in Beverly Hills Airbnb rentals include the following:
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Stairway accidents
- Pool accidents
- Inadequate maintenance
- Fires
- Balcony collapse
- Electrocution
- Inadequate lighting
- Ceiling collapse
It often takes a skilled investigation to prove the property owner’s liability. This requires showing evidence that the property owner was aware of the existence of the safety hazard and failed to take proper action to address the hazard to prevent injuries.
How Do I Recover Compensation After an Airbnb Injury?
Property owners who rent units to others for short-term stays typically carry comprehensive premises liability policies through Airbnb’s Host Protection Insurance. If an injury occurs in an Airbnb rental, and it was a preventable injury caused by the property owner’s negligence, you can recover compensation through a direct claim against the property owner’s liability insurance or through a lawsuit if the insurance company disputes the claim or undervalues the amount of your damages. Common damages recovered in Airbnb injury claims include the following:
- Past and future medical expenses related to the injury
- Past and future income loss
- Diminished future earning capacity if you’ve suffered a disabling injury
- Compensation for pain and suffering
Depending on the unique circumstances of the injury, compensation for other damages may be available, such as compensation for disfigurement, loss of limb, scarring, loss of vision or hearing, or diminished quality of life. If a loved one dies in a preventable Airbnb accident, wrongful death damages may be available to a close family member.
