According to her family, the death is directly related to the complications following her injury. That is why they are now taking the hotel to court.
The wrongful death lawsuit says the woman was struck by the accelerating revolving door, after which she was "violently" ejected several feet and eventually hit her face on the floor.
The fall had caused serious and permanent injuries, but these werenot described in detail .
The hotel should have taken better care of the broken door
The statement of claim also states that at the time of the accident, the revolving door was in a dangerous condition that did not comply with the law and regulations. The hotel should have known that it was not working properly.
