Can You Sue a Hotel for a Drowning?
Hotels owe guests a duty of pool safety. When negligence contributes to a drowning, a hotel can be held responsible — wherever it is located.
A hotel’s responsibility
Hotels must provide reasonable safety: proper barriers, compliant drains, appropriate supervision or warnings, and prompt emergency response.
Common hotel failures
- No lifeguard and no warnings
- Broken gates or fences
- Non-compliant drain covers
- Slow emergency response
