2019 Review of Hospitality Lawsuits
Florida’s hospitality providers must keep up with the latest trends in order to be prepared for attempts to recover against them.
In 2019, over 850 lawsuits involving the hotel and leisure industry were filed in Florida. These suits, in which the hospitality industry party served as the defendant in nearly 75 percent of cases, were fairly evenly divided between state and federal court, with a slight majority—about 54 percent—taking place in the former.
