Hospitality Industry Workers’ Compensation Risks: Hotel Owner Forced To Pay Large Settlement For Failing To Provide Injured Night Clerk With Workers’ Comp Insurance

“…secured a seven figure settlement against a prominent hotel chain after they failed to provide Workers’ Compensation to their night clerk who was injured in the course of employment…”

“…The hotel owner knowingly employed the clerk as an undocumented worker and was paying the clerk cash “under the table” without securing Workers’ Compensation insurance…”

The employee was injured when he went to investigate a complaint of noise coming from a hotel room and was brutally attacked by the occupants of the room.

 As part of the settlement the hotel chain was forced to take complete financial responsibility for their attempts to circumvent California labor laws. “We want our clients to be fairly compensated for injuries suffered at the hands of business owners who try to bend the rules, and we will leave no stone unturned when an employer tries to take advantage of his employees to save money and line his/her own pockets” said attorney McMahon.
