Greenville Hotel Accident Lawyer

South Carolina boasts a thriving recreation and tourism industry with beaches on one coast and mountains on the other.  South Carolina has become known as a tourist hot spot.  But as tourists and locals alike come to spend their money, hotel owners and motel owners attempt to fill their rooms with patrons. Unfortunately in some situations, they may cut corners or fail to maintain the hotel property as they should. Hotel liability can arise from a number of injury claims including but not limited to injuries in the following:

• Hotels, motels and spas
• Negligence in restaurants, bars and nightclubs to include food adulteration claims and dram shop liability
• Casinos
• Sports arenas
• Golf courses, tennis courts, racquetball courts and other hotel common areas
• Amusement park injury, pools, water slides, theme parks and other water pars

Failure to properly clean a jacuzzi, hot tub, sauna or pool with the proper chemicals can allow very dangerous bacteria to grow and sometimes spread to the patrons of the hotel.  In some instances, this bacteria can be deadly and/or extremely serious and can serious illness that may even be fatal.  Some examples include Legionnaire’s disease, Pontiac Disease, Recreational Water Illness, (RWI), and even genital herpes.  According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) the organism that causes genital herpes, can be transmitted by using hot tubs because the virus can live up to four and a half hours on plastic-coated seats that don’t come in contact with the hot tub’s chlorinated water, which inactivates the virus.  Not all bacteria is transmitted through the water but can also be inhaled while in the hot tub.  People exposed to this bacteria may develop:

• Headache
• Muscle pain
• Chills
• Fever that may be 104 F (40 C) or higher
• Cough, which may bring up mucus and sometimes blood
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
• Confusion or other mental changes
• Coma or death
