My shelf collapsed in the hotel and hurt the hotel staff. Does the hotel need to take responsibility?

Whether the hotel should bear the responsibility depends on the specific situation. If the hotel has fulfilled its security obligations, the hotel does not need to bear tort liability, otherwise, the hotel will bear tort liability within the scope of its failure to fulfill its security obligations.

Security obligation refers to the obligation of managers or organizers of mass activities in hotels, shopping malls, banks, stations, entertainment places and other public places to protect others from damage within a reasonable limit.

Article 37 of the Tort Liability Law 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."

"If the behavior of a third person causes damage to others, the third person shall bear the tort liability; If the manager or organizer fails to fulfill his security obligations, he shall bear corresponding supplementary responsibilities. "
