Common Airbnb Injuries That Could Result in Legal Action
Most injuries that occur in an Airbnb fall under the scope of premises liability or negligent security.
Slip and Falls
Uneven or slippery stairs, wet floors, and poorly lit areas can all contribute to an injury in an Airbnb. Our seasoned Tennessee attorneys can help seek compensation for a slip and fall accident.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning or Fire Hazards
Unsafe appliances or faulty detectors can cause carbon monoxide exposure and house fires. In these cases, the property owner could be held responsible for a lack of maintenance.<
Swimming Pool Accidents or Lack of Safety Equipment
When drownings and other swimming pool injuries occur due to a lack of fencing or signage, the owner of the Airbnb may be held liable.
Assaults Due to Negligent Security
A host of an Airbnb may be liable for failing to provide secure premises. This could include a lack of security cameras, inadequate outdoor lighting, and faulty gate, door, or window locks.
Who Is Responsible for an Airbnb Injury in Tennessee?
Liability in short-term rental accidents can be challenging to identify. It is not always just the host who is responsible for covering damages. In fact, fault could fall on multiple parties, including the host, Airbnb, and third-party contractors, depending on the cause of the injury.
The Airbnb Host
In Tennessee, property owners, including Airbnb hosts, have a legal duty of care to make sure their property is reasonably safe for guests. This requires them to protect visitors from unreasonable risks of harm. When owners fail to uphold this duty, they can be held liable for ensuing injuries.
Airbnb as a Platform
Airbnb’s Host Liability Insurance outlines what the company covers in personal injury claims. Coverage includes bodily injury to a guest and damage to or theft of property belonging to a guest. However, this policy does not cover damage or injury resulting from intentional acts.
Airbnb typically provides this coverage as protection for the host’s liability; whether the platform itself is liable depends on the facts and applicable law.
Third-Party Vendors or Contractors
Third parties could also be held liable for an Airbnb accident due to issues like faulty repairs or negligence by a cleaning company.
Available Compensation After an Airbnb Injury
Several forms of compensation may be available in a Tennessee personal injury case, including economic and non-economic damages.
Medical Expenses
Even minor injuries can result in expensive medical bills. A personal injury case can cover the short and long-term care, emergency treatment, and rehabilitation required for recovery.
Lost Wages or Earning Capacity
Your injuries may prevent you from working for a period of time or from returning to the same position you once held. Compensation can cover the lost wages from time off work and reduced earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering
Your injuries may prevent you from working for a period of time or from returning to the same position you once held. Compensation can cover the lost wages from time off work and reduced earning capacity.
Property Damage
Any damage to your belongings during an incident may be compensated for. In some cases, an item could be replaced, or a monetary award may be given to cover the cost of your loss.

I can not give this firm enough praise. When I say they came through with a team to tackle my case, I mean the whole squad. It was always someone there to answer my questions or even just listen to my concerns, between the lawyers assigned to my case and their paralegals. If it was genuine or not, they made me feel like we were getting through this ordeal together. And they always informed me of the good and the bad. Nothing was ever sugarcoated to influence my decisions at any point while working with them. Lastly I want say thank you so much once again to NST for just being good people.
NST worked hard on my case, by filing my claim, gathering all the needed documents, and negotiating my settlement with the insurance company. I would recommend them to all my friends, family, and anyone else that needs a good lawyer firm.

Tennessee Airbnb Injury Claims FAQ
Our frequently asked questions are designed to further inform victims of Airbnb accidents about their rights and the claims process.
What Should I Do Immediately After Getting Hurt at an Airbnb?
The most crucial step to take after an injury is to seek medical attention. This not only ensures you receive the treatment you need, but it also provides documentation that can connect the injury to the accident.
What if the Host Does Not Have Homeowner’s Insurance?
Standard homeowners or renters policies often exclude or limit short-term rental activity unless the host has an appropriate endorsement or short-term rental coverage. Airbnb provides host protection insurance called AirCover at no charge; however, it may not cover all potential damages or liabilities.
Can I Still Sue if I Signed Airbnb’s Terms of Service?
Yes, you may still pursue a claim, but Airbnb’s Terms of Service typically include mandatory arbitration, class-action waivers, and venue/notice provisions that affect where and how your claim proceeds. An attorney can review the terms and advise on your options.
How Long Do I Have To File a Claim in Tennessee?
In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is one year. You must file a lawsuit within one year of the date of the accident against the responsible person or entity.
