The answer depends on the type of injury and the circumstances surrounding it:
Property owners: landlords, homeowners, and property managers can be held liable for not addressing a hazardous situation on their property. Property owners have a legal responsibility to manage their homes or buildings properly. When negligent security or dangerous conditions cause serious injuries, they can be held liable for not keeping guests safe on the premises.
Dog bites: The owner of the dog is held responsible for the dog bite even if they did not know that the dog had vicious tendencies and even if the dog has never bitten anyone before
Swimming pool accidents: Private property owners can be held liable for injuries to a trespassing toddler or child since pools are considered an “attractive nuisance”
