Innkeeper Liability
When a premises security claim is brought against
a hotel or motel, management must immediately
secure all relevant documentation and other
materials that could aid defense preparations,
including security and maintenance logs, incident
reports, surveillance tapes, witness names
and statements, guest registrations, and phone
logs. Defense lawyers should promptly retain
an investigator and a security expert with
a specialty in hotel safety to review all available
information and, where possible, to help formulate
a viable defense.
