What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My friend and I were staying at a motel in San Francisco. We were accosted outside our room and the criminal forced his way in and attempted to rob us. He was arrested, we witnessed at a jury trial, and he was found guilty and sentenced. We sustained minor injury which we did not seek treatment for and are healed from. The motel was sorry and gave us a 10% discount!
We contacted the motel owners who acknowledged some responsibility for the incident but felt that $5000 ( divided by the two of us) in damages was unaffordable and excessive. Should we pursue this further?? We are actually concerned with all the trips we had to make back and forth from court ( We live in Sacramento) and the mental distress the entire incident caused. We are even more concerned with the unsuspecting families and travelers that may experience this in the future at this location on Market street. We discovered at the trial that this hotel is notorious for illicit sexual behavior and when we stayed there there were foreign travelers and families. We had NO idea and believe something should be done.
