What do I do if I was injured in an Airbnb accident in New Jersey?
If you were injured in an Airbnb, there are steps you must take if you are planning on pursuing legal action. The first is to seek medical attention as soon as possible. This will ensure that your injuries are properly assessed and treated, while also giving medical documentation that can be used as evidence in a future personal injury claim. Furthermore, you will want to gather proof of the accident. Usually, this involves taking photos and videos at the scene and gathering the contact information of anyone who was a witness to your accident.
An important step is to retain the services of an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney. It is critical to keep in mind that you will need to file your claim as soon as you can because New Jersey has a statute of limitations of two years for personal injury claims. This means that if you do not file your Airbnb accident claim within two years from the date of your accident, you will lose the opportunity to recover compensation for the burdens you now face as a result of the accident.
It is in your best interest to speak with an attorney right away so that you can start this process and promptly meet all of your claim’s deadlines.
What is Airbnb’s host protection insurance?
Airbnb recognizes that accidents can happen, which is why they have Host Protection Insurance for the owners of Airbnb listings in the case that a guest is injured on their property. If you are injured in an Airbnb, the first $1 million of compensation will come from Airbnb rather than the host or landlord of the property. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that there are some injuries that are not incorporated into Airbnb’s insurance policy. These exceptions include contractual liability, lost wages as a result of injuries, injuries caused by intentional acts, communicable diseases, or injuries sustained due to a guest’s intoxication.
