Whenever a hotel should have known of a defect or broken condition it is called constructive knowledge. Constructive knowledge can be proven with evidence that shows how long danger existed. Often times it can be proven by the hotel’s failure to maintain and inspect the premises appropriately.
Hotel accidents frequently occurs when a guest is injured getting in and out of the bathtub. Therefore, hotel and motels should always use slip-resistant tubs, showers, flooring, rugs, and grab bars. When a hotel has a guest fall and get hurt and does not properly investigate the cause it puts other guests at risk.
There are exceptions to the above rule if the driver or passenger has a medical condition and certification by a doctor that the use of a seatbelt would be dangerous or inappropriate. For some reason, the law allows newspaper delivery and garbage collectors to drive without seatbelts. If you are injured in a car accident in Florida and did not have your seatbelt on at the time of impact, the violation can be considered as evidence of comparative fault. In other words, the jury will decide how much of your injury is due to your failure to wear a seatbelt, even if you are entirely innocent in the crash. Comparative fault or comparative negligence can range from 0-100% of liability. That means you could reduce the amount of recovery to nothing if a jury believes that your injury would have been entirely avoided with the use of a seatbelt.
