Unsafe Spa Conditions Result in Severe Burns – $600,000 Awarded to Client
Our client visited a Russian-style spa and bathhouse seeking therapeutic relief—but instead suffered a traumatic and entirely preventable injury. Overcome by extreme heat, she lost consciousness and collapsed onto scalding tile floor, sustaining severe burns. Staff response was alarmingly delayed, compounding the extent of her injuries.
An in-depth investigation revealed multiple safety failures. The spa used flooring materials that were inappropriate for high-temperature environments, creating a dangerous surface for any patron in distress. Compounding the hazard, staff lacked proper emergency training and failed to provide timely assistance when our client collapsed.
With the support of expert analysis in premises safety and facility design, we demonstrated clear negligence on the part of the business. As a result, our legal team secured a $600,000 settlement to cover our client’s medical care, pain and suffering, and long-term recovery needs.

Understanding Premises Liability in High-Risk Environments
Businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for patrons—especially in high-risk environments like spas, gyms, and bathhouses. When that duty is neglected through poor design choices or insufficient staff training, the consequences can be life-altering.
In this case, both the physical infrastructure and the emergency response protocols failed. By holding the spa accountable, we not only secured fair compensation for our client but also pushed for higher safety standards in similar facilities.
