Ways Hotel Workplace Injuries Occur

A hotel can be a dangerous place for an employee. The property is large with many rooms. Guests are constantly moving throughout the property and transporting personal belongings.

Here are some ways that hotel injuries occur:

Slip and fall, trip and fall
Fire, electrical accidents and burn injuries
Chemical exposure
Harm from infestations, like bed bugs
Elevator and escalator malfunction
Falls from uneven flooring or surfaces, carpet that bunches up
Repetitive motion injuries, back strain, harm from working in awkward body positions
Working with knives and tools, causing lacerations
Injury from lifting and pushing heavy objects
Objects falling from overhead

Hotel workers are often asked to carry heavy objects that obstruct their vision. They may be asked to move cleaning carts, supplies and equipment. They often multitask. Job duties may include handling customer requests and complaints. When you work for a hotel chain, management may not be located on site. It can be difficult to communicate about operational needs. All these factors may create risk of on the job injury.

If you are injured while working at a hotel, you may deserve workers’ compensation. The injuries must be the result of your employment.

Hotel Injury Victims Workers’ Compensation – Types of Benefits

In Hawaii, a person injured while working at a hotel may receive the following benefits from workers’ compensation:

Medical care relating to the injury: Provided at no cost provided the injured worker follows the requirements
Temporary disability: Wage replacement benefits if you can’t work because of injury
Permanent partial disability: Which is compensation for loss of body function resulting from injury
Permanent total disability: Payments if you can’t return to work
Disfigurement: Compensation for scars, deformity and discoloration
Death benefits: Paid to the surviving spouse or dependents
Vocational rehabilitation: A range of services to help you get back to work including counseling, training and job referrals

The benefits that the injured person receives are specific to their situation. For example, someone might need significant medical intervention for a medical problem. Other circumstances may require more limited treatment. Everything relating to the injury should be covered including hospitalization, doctor visits, prescriptions and supplies.

Partial replacement wage benefits are a percentage of income up to a statutorily set maximum amount. The injured worker may receive 66 and 2/3% of their average weekly wage from the fourth day they are unable to work. If this figure is not calculated correctly, or if payments are not made, the worker can challenge the decision.

It isn’t always easy to know what types of benefits you deserve if you’re hurt while working in the hotel industry. Knowing the amounts and what is required of you can be challenging. Our legal team can assist you with everything. We guide workers through the process and protect their rights.

Recovery Law Center made my legal experience entirely stress-free. I had two face-to-face meetings and a handful of phone calls with them. I hope I won't need their services in the future, but I will not hesitate for a second to call them if I find myself on the bad side of another rear-end! Mahalo to Jolie, Glenn, and the rest of the staff at Recovery Law Center for making this ordeal completely painless! Aloha!

I was Glenn Honda's client twice. Both times, he was my personal injury attorney. The first time, I was walking out the door of this building and the hydraulic malfunctioned, shoving me out. Well, as the door shoved me forward, it caught one of my fingers and partially amputated it. (It's fine now thank God). The insurance company wouldn't even pay my emergency bills. Glenn even hired an engineer to show that the hydraulic was defective. He made the insurance company pay! The second time I was walking and there was dirt and leaves covering a more than one-inch rise in the sidewalk. The City scoffed at me and my claim. But again, Glenn Honda to the rescue — He took the case all the way to arbitration. I recommend him. He fights hard for his clients.

Glenn Honda and the staff at Recovery Law helped me through one of the toughest times I experienced when my 15 year old was involved in a head on collision, and she was the passenger. I had so many question and concerns with her medical/therapy bills that seemed never ending. Recovery Law kept me informed throughout the process what to expect with the bills and got me through a tough time. My Attorney Glenn Honda fought hard for my daughter and kept her (and my) best interest always in the forefront. Recovery Law, and staff, went above and beyond to ensure the outcome was a positive one. Recovery Law and Glenn Honda made us feel like family and we trusted them wholeheartedly. As a mother, you always want the best for your children, and using Recovery Law during this troubling time was the best decision I made for my daughter and our family. I would recommend Recover Law, Glenn Honda to anyone who needs a strong advocate for either yourself, or your family member(s). Glenn Honda is truly a man who believes in justice.
