I hurt my leg while eating in a hotel. Can I ask the hotel for compensation?

Editor: A friend went to a hotel for his birthday and accidentally fell down at the hotel, resulting in a fracture of his right patella. The hospitalization cost nearly ten thousand yuan. Can my friend ask the hotel for some compensation? Reader Xiaofeng Reader: Article 6 of the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases stipulates: "If a natural person, legal person or other organization engaged in business activities such as accommodation, catering and entertainment or other social activities fails to fulfill its security obligations within a reasonable range and causes personal injury to others, the people's court shall support it." Article 6 of the Tort Liability Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "If the actor infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others due to his fault, he shall bear the tort liability." Article 37 stipulates: "Managers of hotels, shopping malls, banks, stations, entertainment places and other public places or organizers of mass activities who fail to fulfill their security obligations and cause damage to others shall bear tort liability." In this case, if your friend goes to the hotel for dinner, does the hotel fulfill its security obligations (such as flat and non-slip, setting up safety signs, etc.). ), your friend is responsible for his accidental fall. If the hotel fails to fulfill its security obligations, for example, the ground is smooth and unclean, and no safety warning signs are set, causing injuries to others, he should bear the tort liability. Your friend can negotiate compensation with the hotel according to the situation at that time, or sue the hotel in the local people's court for compensation.
