Woman sues hotel for alleged fall
A woman has filed a lawsuit over the injuries that she allegedly suffered when she slipped and fell in the women’s restroom of the Saipan World Resort in Susupe.
Celestial Dela Cruz is suing World Corp., owner of Saipan World Resort Hotel, for negligence.
Dela Cruz, through counsel Victorino DLG. Torres, asked the Superior Court to hold the hotel responsible to pay her unspecified damages, courts costs, and attorney’s fees.
Saipan Tribune contacted the hotel yesterday but no one was available to comment.
Torres stated in the complaint that Dela Cruz had gone to the World Buffet restaurant of the Saipan World Resort on July 2, 2014. After eating lunch, she went to the women’s restroom where she allegedly slipped, fell, and sustained injuries.
Torres said Dela Cruz’s slip and fall was no fault of her own as she was unaware that the floor was wet.
Torres said the hotel failed, among other things, to provide anti-skid flooring and warning signs indicating a wet floor.
Another slip and fall case where the supposedly injured is only trying make FAST CASH.
No one at hotels will comment on legal matters w/o GM’s approval as they are pretty sure they will be fired with the terminate “AT Will” law. This appears to be, he said, she said, case without hard evidence that anything happened at all on hotel property? On the other hand many hotels continue to promote inexperienced persons directly in charge to save on labor costs and continue to promote foreign workers without experience in dealing with US laws nor responsible enough to be in full charge of busy restaurants. I guessing that some kind of settlement agreement will be made just to keep this persons mouth shut and temporarily remove the situation.
