Orlando Hotel & Hospitality Expert Witness

Orlando Hotel & Hospitality Expert Witness

Hotels are frequent targets of negligence and tort litigation. Hotel law varies significantly from state to state, and can be extremely nuanced and complex. In addition to the letter of the written law and any case precedents which might exist, an innkeeper’s liability depends heavily on the extent to which the company in question has observed and maintained the standards of care established by the industry in which it operates. Failure to pay proper attention to changes in the competitive landscape can often leave hospitality businesses open to tremendous liability. Although hotel litigation is extremely common, it is by no means the only hospitality sector vulnerable to lawsuits. Restaurants and other food service businesses have significant risk inherent in their obligations to maintain compliance with health codes, FDA regulations, and other industry expectations. Airlines and cruise lines must consider not only the laws and customs of the United States, but also those of foreign countries by which they might be bound during flights or sailings. Theme park operators expose themselves to tremendous risk inherent in the shows and attractions that they offer to the public.
