When you vacation in Myrtle Beach it should be all about enjoying the beach, relaxing by the pool and spending time with your family. Unfortunately, an injury in an Airbnb, vacation rental home or resort can quickly turn a trip into a stressful experience. Broken stairs, slippery pool decks, poorly maintained balconies and other property hazards can lead to medical bills and an uncertain recovery for visitors.

If you were injured at a vacation property in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, you may have a premises liability claim. If an unsafe property condition leads to an accident, Kinon Law Firm can help you understand your legal options. The property owner, resort operator, management company, or other responsible party may be liable for failure to maintain reasonably safe premises, depending on the circumstances.

Property hazards can be a danger to guests, whether in Airbnb rentals or beachfront resorts

Myrtle Beach offers a wide variety of accommodations to choose from including short term rentals, condominiums, hotels and full service resorts. Each of these properties offers a unique experience, but if maintenance and property inspections are not up to par, guests can be exposed to similar safety risks.

Common accidents at vacation rentals and resorts include:

  • Slips and falls on west floors, pool decks, or stairways
  • Falls from damaged steps or loose balcony railings.
  • Injuries caused by broken furniture or faulty fixtures
  • Accidents resulting from poor lighting or uneven walkways
  • Pool injuries caused by unsafe conditions
  • Injuries from falling objects or property damage that has not been repaired

Property owners and operators may have a duty to protect against foreseeable dangers and give appropriate warnings. When a preventable hazard causes an injury, investigating the circumstances can help determine whether negligence played a role.

Who Is Responsible When a Guest Gets Hurt at a Myrtle Beach Rental or Resort?

Determining who is at fault following a vacation home accident can be challenging, especially when various parties are responsible for various areas of the property. The rental unit could be run by an Airbnb host and the maintenance might be handled by a management company. At a resort, responsibility for an injury could involve the resort operator, condominium owner, property management company, or a contractor responsible for a specific area.

As with a typical premises liability case, you must show that a party responsible for your injury breached a duty of care owed to you, and that breach was the cause of your injury. Photographs, incident reports, maintenance records, witness statements, and medical records can demonstrate what occurred. If you are an injured visitor, Kinon Law Firm can help you evaluate your options and identify the parties who may be responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vacation Rental and Resort Accidents in Myrtle Beach

Can I file a claim after being injured at an Airbnb in Myrtle Beach?

Perhaps. If you were injured due to an unsafe condition on the property, and a responsible party was negligent, you may have a case for premises liability. The specific facts, including who controlled the property and whether the hazard could have been addressed, will matter.

Can a Myrtle Beach resort be held responsible for a pool or balcony accident?

When an injury is the result of an unsafe pool area, defective balcony, broken railing or other similar hazard, a resort or other responsible party may be liable if negligence contributed to the injury. Liability is based on the condition of the premises, who had control of the premises, and the circumstances of the accident.

What should I do after an accident at a vacation property?

See a doctor, notify the host or resort management and take photos of the hazardous condition if you can do so safely. Keep your booking confirmation, medical records, receipts and any correspondence relating to the accident. Prompt documentation may help preserve key evidence.
