St. Petersburg Hotel And Resort Injury Lawyer

Last updated on April 30, 2026

A high number of tourists in St. Petersburg has increased the demand for hotels and resorts, such as The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club. Unfortunately, accidents regularly occur in these places, and the hotels and their insurance companies can be reluctant to pay claims.

I am attorney John Mathias from The Law Offices of John R. Mathias, P.A., and I represent hotel injury victims in St. Petersburg, Florida. I served as a resort accident attorney in Florida for more than 30 years and as a Certified Civil Trial Specialist by the Florida Bar for over 20 years. As such, whether you are dealing with a fall or negligent security, I am a premises liability attorney St. Petersburg residents and visitors trust. I have won millions of dollars for my past clients and would be happy to help you, too.

Common Causes of Injuries At St. Petersburg Hotels And Luxury Resorts

Hotels and resorts have a legal duty to observe Florida resort guest rights. However, some of them fail, leading to:

  • Slips-and-falls due to wet floors
  • Unmaintained swimming pools
  • Negligent security, exposing guests to assaults
  • Food poisoning
  • Elevator and escalator mechanical failures
  • Defective furniture
  • Electrical burns

As a hotel slip-and-fall lawyer in St. Petersburg, I can investigate these incidents to hold hotels and resorts accountable.

Establishing Liability: Is the Hotel Responsible For Your Accident?

Under Florida premises liability law, as a hotel guest, you are considered an invitee, meaning you are owed the highest duty of care. So, in the case of an accident, a hotel is liable if the management knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it.

Large resorts like The Don CeSar and The Vinoy Resort & Gold Club have legal teams and insurers working to minimize payouts, which is why you need an experienced attorney on your side.

You can recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity and rehabilitation costs. On the other hand, I can also help recover noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
