What Responsibilities Do Property Owners Have to Protect Guests?

Whether they’re homeowners or business owners, property owners and managers have a responsibility to protect guests and anyone who enters their premises.

Some of those responsibilities include:

Cleaning up wet or slick floors—Slip and fall accidents are often associated with liquids accumulating on floors. Whether it’s due to a spill, a leak, or rainwater collecting near a doorway, property owners should either make the area inaccessible to guests or clean the liquid and prevent it from accumulating immediately. Otherwise, they can be considered responsible for accidents.

Repairing loose, broken, or uneven steps—Falls on staircases and stairwells are extremely dangerous and can even lead to life-threatening injuries. A significant risk factor for trips and falls is loose, broken, or uneven steps. If property owners don’t make appropriate repairs to those defects, they can be held liable for any injuries that occur.

Providing adequate lighting in dark areas—To walk safely, guests must be able to easily see where they’re going. That means property owners should provide adequate lighting in outdoor areas, hallways, stairwells, and other places where lighting may otherwise by insufficient. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur and they can be considered negligent.
