Attorneys for Sexual Assault Victims at Resorts
When Vacations Turn into Traumatic Experiences
Resorts are meant to provide a relaxing escape, offering guests a safe space to unwind. However, without proper safety measures or properly vetted staff, these settings can become the site of serious crimes like sexual assault. Negligence, such as poor security, inadequate lighting, or ignoring past incidents, can put guests at risk.
At Mitchell & West, LLC, we are dedicated to advocating for individuals who have suffered assaults in resort settings due to negligence or inadequate security. Our experienced team is committed to holding responsible parties accountable, helping victims pursue justice, and supporting their path to healing.
If you’ve been assaulted at a resort, you may be entitled to hold the property owner legally and financially responsible. Contact us online or call (305) 783-3301 today!
How Resort Negligence Contributes to Assault
Resorts are responsible for protecting guests from preventable harm. This includes having appropriate lighting, hiring properly trained staff, and responding swiftly to any reports of unsafe behavior. When management cuts corners or ignores signs of risk, guests can suffer the consequences.
Common resort safety failures include:
- Insufficient security presence or surveillance
- Allowing unauthorized individuals on the property
- Failing to respond to guest complaints or prior incidents
- Hiring staff with known behavioral or criminal issues
By addressing these common safety failures, resorts can create a more secure environment for their guests. Prioritizing safety not only protects visitors but also enhances the resort's reputation and ensures a positive experience for everyone.
Your Rights as a Survivor
Sexual assault in a resort setting may be perpetrated by staff, other guests, or intruders who gained access due to lax security. Regardless of the attacker’s identity, the resort may still bear responsibility if it failed to create a reasonably safe environment.
Victims of sexual assault often experience significant emotional, physical, and financial hardship. Our sexual assault attorneys help clients pursue civil claims that address these damages and hold negligent businesses accountable. A successful claim can provide compensation for therapy, medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
