What do I do if I was injured in an Airbnb accident in New Jersey?
You will need to gather as much evidence as possible if you were injured in an Airbnb accident. First, you will want to seek medical attention promptly after the accident. This will assure that your injuries are evaluated and treated, while also providing you with medical documentation that will be a useful part of your personal injury claim. You will also want to gather other evidence from the accident itself. This can include taking photos and videos at the scene and collecting the contact information of anyone who saw your accident.
You should also retain the services of an experienced attorney to make sure that ensure you are promptly filing your claim. The state of New Jersey has a statute of limitations of two years for personal injury claims. This means that if you fail to file your Airbnb accident claim within two years from the date of your accident, you will miss out on the opportunity to recover the compensation you need.
Personal injury claims are time-sensitive. That is why you should not wait to contact an attorney so that you can start the claims process and ensure you are punctually meeting all of your deadlines.
What is Airbnb’s host protection insurance?
Airbnb understands that accidents happen. As a result, they provide Host Protection Insurance for the owners of Airbnb listings in the case that a guest is injured. The first $1 million of compensation will come from Airbnb, rather than the host or landlord of the property. However, there are some instances in which the policies are not included in Airbnb’s insurance policy. These 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.
If you were injured in an accident while in an Airbnb, you will need to speak with a seasoned attorney that can evaluate the specifics of your case and discover the best resolution for you.
