UNDERSTANDING THE SCOPE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT IN HOSPITALITY
Hotels are designed to be retreats of comfort and security, yet they can become settings for sexual assault due to lapses in safety protocols. The responsibility falls on hotel operators to ensure the protection of their guests by implementing rigorous security measures. This includes maintaining controlled access to guest rooms, conducting comprehensive background checks on all staff members, and establishing strict procedures for key handling and room access.
Despite these precautions, the private and often secluded nature of hotel rooms, coupled with the potential for staff to be alone with guests, increases the risk of sexual assault. The industry faces a challenge: to balance guest service with safety and security. It is in these areas that hotels can—and must—do better.

Hotel Safety Breach

Recent high-profile lawsuits have illuminated a disturbing trend of negligence within renowned hotel chains, sparking a nationwide call to action. The hospitality sector is facing a reckoning for failing to uphold the sanctity of guest safety. In a landmark case against Hilton Management LLC, a Harris County jury awarded a $44 million verdict to a survivor. The hotel's grave oversight in placing an intoxicated and vulnerable guest into the wrong room led to her sexual assault, a glaring breach of security measures that should have protected her. Another harrowing incident involves the Hilton’s DoubleTree branch, where a university student was assaulted after the hotel staff neglected to invalidate her lost room key. This case, set for trial in January 2024, is a stark reminder of the potential dangers that arise from lapses in basic hotel security protocols.
AVA Law Group's

Approach to Legal Recourse

At AVA Law Group, we believe that when hotels fail to meet their duty of care, legal action is not only justified but necessary. Our team of experienced attorneys stands ready to analyze the circumstances of each case, pinpoint negligent practices, and pursue the justice survivors deserve.
Whether it's inadequate surveillance, improper staff training, or negligent room allocation, we delve into the details that led to the assault. We are committed to holding hotels accountable for their part in failing to prevent these traumatic events.
PROACTIVE MEASURES AND LEGAL SOLUTIONS
Hotels have the means and the obligation to prevent sexual assaults. Strategies like employing surveillance cameras, hiring security personnel, and providing safety education for staff and guests are proven deterrents. Yet, as research indicates, these measures are not universally employed, leaving room for preventable incidents. AVA Law Group urges the hospitality industry to prioritize guest safety and adopt all necessary precautions.
