As with premises liability, landowners and property owners can be held responsible. It’s the owner’s job to keep people safe on their property. If the owner knew about the hazards that lead to your injury, but did nothing to fix, stop, or prevent it from happening, then it’s on them to compensate you. In some cases, owners can be held accountable even if they had no prior knowledge of the hazard. Both private and public owners are required to keep their properties safe. Any instance of neglect or exposed hazards may warrant a case.
