Myrtle Beach is not just a beautiful place to live, but it is also a very popular tourist destination. The premises liability lawyers at the Maguire Law Firm understand the unfortunate fact that guests at Myrtle Beach hotels can become victims of crime. If the hotel failed to provide adequate security for its guests, it could be held liable for any injuries that are sustained as a result of criminal activity.

If you are the victim of a crime due to inadequate hotel security, you could potentially recover both economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages are things such as stolen property, medical bills and lost wages. Noneconomic damages are what most people think of as “pain and suffering.”
If you are the victim of a violent crime while on vacation, the emotional trauma caused by the crime may be significant. In addition, pursuing a claim against the hotel could hold the hotel responsible for its negligence. By holding the hotel responsible, you could prevent the same thing from happening to another guest in the future.
When you check into a hotel, you anticipate that management has taken reasonable steps to ensure your safety while you are a guest. Sometimes a hotel, motel, inn or bed and breakfast falls short of its duty to protect its guests, and a guest is injured as a result.
A guest may become the victim of a crime such as a robbery, burglary, rape, assault, arson or even murder. A guest may lose personal property, be physically injured or be emotionally traumatized as a result of the crime. If it is determined that the hotel was negligent in failing to provide adequate security, and that negligence contributed to the victim’s injuries, then the hotel could be held responsible for those injuries.
However, there are some common scenarios that could lead to an inadequate hotel security lawsuit, including:
