I agree with most. However, if he did not report it to the hotel management immediately, he is probably not going to be able to get anything at all. It would have to be up to him to be able to prove the syringe was in the hotel room. Their insurance company could otherwise say the needle stick was done anywhere in Seattle and not at their hotel.
I used to work in HR at a medical center. Needle sticks had to be reported immediately and noted in a file. Testing for Hepatitis was mandatory. That was before AIDS. If a person came down with Hepatitis, workers comp would pay off since the needle stick was noted on the day it happened.
