We Want to Help You

If you were exploited or forced into sex in a hotel or motel, you are not alone.  At National Injury Attorneys, we help survivors take legal action to hold hotels, motel chains, and those responsible accountable for turning a blind eye, and fight to recover the financial compensation you may be entitled to.

Attorney Caitlin Engstrand has represented hundreds of women and children trafficked throughout Arizona, and not one of them was sold in an alley. They were trafficked through motels, apartment complexes, and even five-star resorts. Sex trafficking is a multi-billion-dollar industry in the United States, and it does not operate in the shadows alone. It operates through businesses that repeatedly see the same men checking in with different young women, apartment complexes that ignore suspicious activity in the middle of the night, and hotels that implement automated check-in systems designed to avoid accountability. In Phoenix, areas like “The Blade” are well-known trafficking corridors, recognized by law enforcement and businesses alike, yet buyers continue to walk free while properties continue renting rooms. Attorney Caitlin Engstrand believes these businesses are not passive bystanders — they are part of the infrastructure that allows trafficking to thrive. That is why her work focuses on holding hotels, motels, apartment complexes, and corporations accountable through civil litigation. Cases against companies like Motel 6 and the prosecution of platforms like Backpage demonstrate that meaningful change happens when the businesses facilitating trafficking are forced to answer for what they allowed to occur. By filing claims against corporations that ignored obvious warning signs, Attorney Caitlin Engstrand fights to obtain compensation for survivors while forcing businesses to explain to juries what their own security cameras and records already revealed. Every case sends a clear message: if a business profits from the exploitation of trafficked women or children, it will be held accountable. That is how the industry begins to shrink, not through one more arrest alone, but through one more business being forced to answer for its role in the abuse.
