Fort Worth Star-Telegram features Blizzard Law’s newest lawsuit

April 28, 2023/in Articles, News, Personal Injury /by damg

A hotel in Southlake is being sued by an Oregon woman who says she came to Texas for a job interview and found a video camera hidden in her room after two men she didn’t know came into the room uninvited, according to the lawsuit. The whole episode has left the woman, who was not named in the lawsuit, traumatized, she said. And her attorney, Ed Blizzard, says it’s one of the most complex cases he’s seen. The suit says that the woman, a recent college graduate, came to Texas for what she believed was a legitimate job interview with an IT service provider but instead found herself being recorded in a hotel room booked for her by the man claiming to be the potential employer’s CEO and intruded on by two unidentified men while in the room.

New York Times Features Blizzard Law Case in Hotel Crime Report

March 22, 2023/in Articles, News, Personal Injury /by damg

Blizzard Law’s $44 million verdict against Hilton Hotel Management on behalf of a sexual assault victim is featured in a March 17, 2023, New York Times report on hotel crimes.  

On-premises crimes including human trafficking, sexual assault and other violent offenses have seemingly been fueled by the hotel industry’s lapse in training and practicing standard security measures, according to the Blizzard Law attorneys who have represented multiple victims of hotel-based crimes.

“Hotel security shortfalls are much more common than travelers would imagine,” firm founder Ed Blizzard told the New York Times. 

The article describes Blizzard Law’s $44 million victory on behalf of Kathleen Dawson, who was raped by a man who received assistance from hotel staff to take her into his room after simply telling them, “She’s with me.” Hotel staff members delivered the unconscious, vulnerable guest into the room of her attacker without checking her identification or verifying whether she had her own room, which she did. A jury ultimately found the hotel responsible for the incident.

Hotel Owner to Pay Nearly $1 Million in Attempted Sexual Assault of Hotel Guest

February 2, 2023/in Articles, News, Personal Injury /by damg

Holiday Inn near San Antonio provided key to attacker, blamed victim for ‘flirting’

FORT WORTH, Texas – Lawyers representing a woman who was the victim of an attempted sexual assault in a Holiday Inn have secured a $950,000 settlement on her behalf. The victim narrowly escaped sexual assault after the hotel provided a stranger with a key to her room.

According to the lawsuit filed by Blizzard Law PLLC in Tarrant County, a Wisconsin woman traveled to a Holiday Inn hotel in Gonzales for a work trip with colleagues in January 2022. While at a nearby restaurant, she was approached by two men, one of whom offered to walk her back to the hotel after dinner. After rebuffing his advances, she left the man in front of the hotel and went up to her room.

Later that night, she woke to find the same man crouched near her bed with his pants undone, holding a condom. The intruder, identified by police as Fort Worth resident Neftali “Victor” Brenes, fled, and the woman reported the intrusion to hotel staff. According to the lawsuit, a front desk employee admitted giving the attacker a key to her room because the man had claimed to know her, and he “seemed like a nice guy.”

Mr. Brenes was not a guest at the hotel. He has since been arrested and arraigned on a felony charge of attempted sexual assault.

“Not only did the hotel fail to honor its duty to follow basic security measures, but they even tried to blame the victim during the deposition,” said trial lawyer Anna Greenberg. “They claimed she was flirting with him at the restaurant. Even if that were true, flirting is not an invitation for sexual assault. They also asked what clothing she wore to bed that night, as if that somehow would have indicated whether she wanted a stranger to break into her room. She thankfully escaped physical attacks, but this incident was a major attack on her mental wellbeing.”

This is not the first case of its kind for the firm.

In 2021 Blizzard Law secured a $44 million verdict against Hilton Management LLC after jurors in Harris County found that hotel personnel placed a vulnerable guest into the room of a man who claimed “she’s with me,” leading to her sexual assault.

The firm also has a lawsuit pending against the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Austin on behalf of a University of Texas student who was sexually assaulted in her own room after hotel staff failed to cancel her lost room key, which was then picked up and used by the attacker.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Blizzard Law! As an out-of-state client, I was skeptical about obtaining first-rate representation for my sexual assault case. After my first meeting with Anna and Ed I knew I was in the right hands… ”

Kathleen Dawson blizzard law five stars

I am beyond grateful that Blizzard Law represented me, and specifically Anna Greenberg who guided and supported me through my journey. My case was unique and involved multiple parties and needed innovative, meticulous, and empathetic minds. I am confident that there is not a better team that could have fought my case, or any type of sexual assault case….”
