Woman Sues Owners of Four Points by Sheraton Hotel for Injuries Sustained from Shattered Shower Door
ORLANDO, FL [November 4, 2024] – Ashley Miller is suing GVL Hospitality, LLC, for injuries she sustained when a glass shower door shattered while she was staying at the Four Points by Sheraton in Orlando hotel on October 12, 2024. The Defendant is the owner of the hotel. The complaint, filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Orange County, Florida, alleges negligence and gross negligence on the part of the hotel.
Ms. Miller’s complaint details severe injuries, including deep lacerations requiring sutures and shards of glass lodged in her body, resulting from the incident. The complaint further states that hotel employees, including a staff member and a paramedic, made statements indicating that similar incidents involving shattered shower doors had occurred at the hotel in the past. This claim is supported by evidence showing that the defendant was named in a previous case, Orange County case number 2019-CA-014297, involving a factually similar incident.
The lawsuit claims that the hotel breached its duty of care by failing to ensure the safety of its glass shower doors, communicate potential dangers to guests, and maintain proper safety standards. The complaint seeks damages in excess of $50,000 for Ms. Miller’s medical expenses, pain, suffering, and other damages resulting from this incident.
“This is a serious case highlighting the need for hotels to prioritize guest safety and maintain their properties to prevent foreseeable accidents,” stated Gil Sanchez, Esq., counsel for Ms. Miller. “Our firm intends to vigorously pursue justice for Ms. Miller and ensure that the hotel is held accountable for its negligence.”
