As the grandmother of a toddler right at this moment, I can say with certainty that no matter how well you supervise them, you cannot prevent all stumbles from happening. That is why babyproofing is so important.
How much babyproofing of a hotel room is a guest expected to do? That is where a question of liability could lie.
If a hotel often entertains young families, sharp-edged tables are something that should not have been considered for the rooms. There are many tables made with rounded edges, or even round tables, that do not create as great a hazard.
Parents are generally aware of socket and window and bathroom hazards in hotel rooms but generally will not be prepared for dangerous furniture (unless made of glass). Photos of the layout of the room and the position of the table in the room would be nice to have.
I personally don’t see that much beyond medical expenses would be covered by insurance but, because the injury required stitches and is well-documented, it is smart to investigate different ways of paying for the emergency room treatment.
The bottom line could be that Marriott wants its guests’ experiences at the hotel to be happy ones. Happy guests are its best form of advertising. If settling a medical claim is not outrageously expensive or unreasonable, Marriott might pay while not admitting any liability.
I don’t see that milads is claiming to have no responsibility for the daughter’s injury but rather is questioning whether Marriott
could have any responsibility. It’s a good question.
