Case Details
The plaintiff, who was 78 years old, suffered second- and third-degree burns over 41 percent of his body while showering at a hotel. The plaintiff contended that the owner of the hotel maintained the hotel in an unsafe and unreasonably dangerous condition, specifically that the temperature of the water heater for the hotel’s rooms was set at 130 degrees.
Additional Notes
Defendant denied liability and argued that the temperature setting of the water heater at 130 degrees was not a dangerous condition. Defendant claimed plaintiff was at fault due to improperly turning the shower faucet and pre-existing Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Defendant also asserted statutory damage caps applied, limiting pain and suffering to $366,250 and economic damages to $283,000 (actual Medicare payments).
