Liam Moloney, International Personal Injury Lawyer has been invited to speak at the American Association of Justice’s Annual Convention in San Francisco.
Liam will speak about international cross border cases and how to get compensation for personal injuries suffered while staying in Airbnb holiday rentals and he will explain about the legal responsibilities of online booking platforms.
Speaking about how such cases can be very complex Liam said “2024 saw new records in the EU, with 854 million nights spent in accommodation booked via four online platforms. Airbnb has almost 8 million listings worldwide which shows the huge wider global popularity of major online booking platforms.
If things go wrong and someone suffers a serious injury in a holiday rental they need to know what their legal options are and who might be responsible to compensate them for their injuries.”
Liam continued “in many cases it can be very difficult to establish the legal identity of the owner of an Airbnb property or what legal duty they owe to the holiday maker. It is very important that injury victims can get legal advice from an expert in this area so that they can consider their legal options to recover adequate compensation for their losses.”
Consumer protection laws in Ireland also give extra protection to users of services but local regulations in different countries can vary to reduce the extent of liability attaching to the providers of holiday home services.
The American Association for Justice Annual Convention takes place between the 18th and the 22nd of July 2025 and it is where experienced Litigation Lawyers from all over the world attend to discuss latest developments in specialised litigation areas.
