Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group faces a woman’s hotel personal injury claim in Pennsylvania federal court, demanding jury trial.

Plaintiff Allison M. filed the hotel personal injury claim alleging negligence and says that she sustained personal injuries while walking past the bathroom inside her hotel room at the Kimpton Hotel, located in Alexandria, Va.

Allison says that she was hurt when a maid or housekeeper of the hotel had allegedly opened the bathroom door directly onto her causing her to fall down and sustain severe injuries.

According to the hotel personal injury lawsuit, the incident occurred on June 5, 2016 as she was a business invitee staying at one of the hotel rooms. She says that she was present in the bed/living area of the hotel room when she heard a knock at the door. However, the maid, suddenly and without warning, allegedly opened the bathroom door directly onto her causing those injuries.

According to the hotel personal injury claim, Allison states that she sustained serious injuries including to her “right arm, right side, right hip, back, buttocks, and right leg; contusions and abrasions, severe damages to her nerves and nervous system, [and] various other ills and injuries.”

Some of the damages she suffered includes in the form of “past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, lost earning capacity, and other, unspecified financial expenses and losses.”

The lawsuit accuses the hotel of negligence and carelessness for opening the bathroom door so forcefully and without warning.
