Navigating Insurance and Liability WHAT TO DO IF YOU’RE INJURED AT AN AIRBNB If you get injured at an Airbnb, the steps to take afterward can be complicated and confusing. Whether you slip and fall, suffer an injury due to a structural issue, or experience harm caused by unsafe conditions, knowing your rights and the steps to take is key! First, it’s important to seek medical attention. Your health and safety are the top priority, and getting proper documentation from a doctor will be key if you decide to pursue legal action or file a claim. Next, we recommend you document the scene of the accident. Take photos of the scene where you were injured, and note any unsafe conditions that may have contributed to your injury. It’s also a good idea to document contact information from witnesses who saw the incident. Airbnb provides a host liability insurance program, which offers coverage for property owners and guests who may get injured. This insurance covers up to $1 million for personal injuries and third-party property damage. However, this coverage can be tricky, as it may not cover every type of injury or incident. Reviewing Airbnb’s policy and determining if your situation qualifies for coverage under their terms is important. Sometimes, the property owner may have liability insurance, which could cover your injuries. Additionally, depending on the circumstances, the property owner may be directly responsible if they fail to maintain a safe environment. Regardless of where the injury occurs — whether in Massachusetts or elsewhere — we can help! Our legal team at Spada Law is experienced in handling cases involving injuries at Airbnb properties and can help you navigate the complexities of Airbnb’s insurance and local laws.
