My daughter and I were having breakfast in a hotel lobby. A man started punching a woman. I told the hotel staff to call 911. The man left and the staff locked the front door. The man banged on the door then went away. My daughter told me she was feeling nautious. Then the man came in through the back. At that point my daughter fell to the floor unconscious. The police and ambulance came. The police cuffed the man and the ambulance took my daughter to the hospital.
My question is, can I hold the hotel responsible for the hospital bills?
1. The altercation was already going on before we entered the lobby and the hotel staff didn't notify hotel occupants of the potentially dangerous situation.
2. The hotel staff should have locked the back entry as well.
3. None of the hotel staff came
