When our client and his wife returned to Miami for a family reunion, he never anticipated that their stay at a local resort would turn into a painful nightmare. 

 

After entering the hotel room, our client did his usual walk-through to make sure everything was clean and in working order. 

 

As he opened the sliding glass door to the balcony, the entire metal shade detached from the wall and struck him in the head, causing him to fall on his back and sustain severe injuries. 

 

The unexpected accident left our client with severe injuries, causing both physical and emotional trauma. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, he promptly reached out to Firm Attorney Imani Williams for support and guidance during this traumatic time. 

 

 

Despite the clear evidence of negligence, liability was initially denied. The insurance companies for two defendants in the case had the audacity to blame our client for causing this horrific incident. This unjust blame added to the distress and complexity of the situation.

 

Attorney Williams filed a lawsuit and navigated numerous hurdles along the way. Her diligence and expertise in premises liability cases were instrumental in overcoming the initial denials and securing a favorable outcome. 

 

Both defendants were compelled to pay significantly higher amounts than initially offered before the lawsuit was filed. This successful outcome not only provided our client with the compensation he deserved but also sent a strong message about the importance of maintaining safe premises. 

 

 

When you walk into a hotel room, you shouldn’t have to worry about heavy objects falling on you. Under Florida law, hotels and resorts have a duty to ensure that the premises are safe for guests. This includes regular maintenance and inspections to prevent accidents caused by dangerous conditions.
