Airbnb Accident Lawyers
These days, hotels and lodges are not your only option when it comes to traveling. Airbnb is an American company that offers short-term leases and rentals in homes, apartments, and other properties across the globe. Their online marketplace connects those offering to host with those seeking accommodations. This business model provides benefits to both the lessor and the lessee. Guests are afforded the familiar comforts of staying in a home rather than a hotel, Airbnb serves as a one-stop-shop with countless listings, around the world, for travelers to choose from, and there are options available for every budget, at a variety of price ranges. Proprietors can list their unused properties through a reputable service and earn supplementary income for doing so.
How Airbnb Works
Anyone can access the system by creating a free account, which gives users the ability to list their own properties or search for unique spaces all over the world. Airbnb guarantees the safety and security of its service by verifying personal profiles and listings. Once the host accepts your reservation request, guests can pay directly through the website and even share payments with others.
If a Renter Gets Injured in an Airbnb Accident, Who is Liable?
If a renter suffers from injuries while staying at an Airbnb, liability may vary from situation to situation. Oftentimes, the homeowner may be found liable if a danger in their home, known or unknown, caused the injury. For instance, if the host failed to inform the guest of a leaky roof and they suffer a slip and fall injury, or, if a loose shelf crashes down and hits one of your guests in the head, the homeowner could be found liable.
Airbnb also has insurance available that provides protection and is automatically included with every booking called “Our Host Protection Insurance”. This provides primary coverage for Airbnb hosts and landlords, worldwide. The program protects against bodily injury or property damage liability claims brought by third parties up to $1 million (U.S. dollars), per occurrence, if the accident arises from a listing during a stay. There are some exclusions for injuries or damages resulting from something done intentionally, and for loss of earnings.
