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.

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.
