Premises Liability at an Arizona Airbnb

Premises liability is the legal doctrine that enables you to pursue damages after being injured on someone else’s property. To have a legitimate premises liability claim after an Airbnb accident, you must show that the Airbnb owner was aware of a dangerous condition or should have been aware of it. Examples of premises liability claims include:

• Leg injury from stepping through an old or rotten floor
• Head injuries suffered in a slip-and-fall accident
• Burns after a house fire 
• Severe injuries sustained in a ceiling collapse

After suffering from any type of injury at an Airbnb, you should speak with a qualified Airbnb accident lawyer. It is better to get answers about the claims process from someone who wants to represent you than from an insurance adjuster who is hoping to deny your claim or reduce your settlement.

Pain and Suffering Compensation in a Tucson Airbnb Case

Pain and suffering could be the most significant portion of your personal injury claim. Your pain and suffering encompass the physical, emotional, and mental distress you experienced as a result of your injury. 

A common way for an attorney to calculate pain and suffering damages is using the multiplier method. First, we will sum up the rest of the damages you have incurred, such as medical bills and lost wages. We will then assign a multiplier to your case, which is typically a number between one and five.

The more severe your injuries and the more egregious the host’s negligence, the higher the multiplier will be. Multiplying the sum of your injuries by that multiplier will determine the amount of pain and suffering we can recover. The insurance company will often try to use a lower multiplier or a different calculation method, but an experienced lawyer will fight for what is fair.

Airbnb’s Host Protection Insurance

One good thing about staying at an Airbnb is that it provides host protection coverage for its rental properties. Airbnb’s host protection provides $1 million in liability coverage for guests injured at Airbnbs. This coverage is intended to compensate guests for all types of damages they may incur.

In some cases, the host may have other coverage in addition to what Airbnb provides. If Airbnb’s insurance coverage doesn’t cover something or if your damages exceed $1 million, you will need to go after the host. Airbnb’s coverage has exceptions and may deny compensation for the following:

• Motor vehicle accidents on the premises
• Natural disasters
• Asbestos or bedbugs
• Intentional acts such as assault and battery

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Like any insurance claim, an Airbnb claim can be tricky. The insurance adjuster may seem amicable, but please realize that they are representing the other side and working to reduce the amount their company has to pay out.

There are a few ways the insurance company will try to do this. After receiving your demand letter, the adjuster will often try to pick apart various aspects of your claim. They may try to argue that you were not injured or that your treatment was unnecessary. 

The insurance adjuster may try to get you to accept a lowball offer. They might pretend that they are not allowed to settle your claim for a higher amount so that you will agree to less compensation than you need. They may even try to blame you for the accident.
