Property owners are responsible for keeping their property clean and safe for visitors so as to prevent needless injury. Not doing so can cause life-changing injuries that no one expected to happen. These injuries are usually the liability of the owner. Attorney José S. López has represented many of these types of cases including:

• Slips and falls due to slippery floor
• Falling down a poorly lit stairway
• Ignoring a problem after it’s been reported
• Lack of security leading to attacks
• Carbon monoxide poisoning due to a furnace malfunctioning
• Fires due to facility not being up to code
• Merchandise falling on customers

Who Is Responsible for Guest Injuries?

Here is a breakdown of responsible parties whose unsafe property has caused injury according to the type of property it is:

• Commercial property: market or retail store. If the property is rented liability typically falls on the person in charge of maintaining the property. For further clarification, the agreement between the actual owner and the renter will need to be reviewed.
• Private home: the owner is liable for all injuries. If the home is rented, the agreement between the actual owner and the renter will need to be reviewed.
• Rental apartments: a review of the accident and its cause is needed. If the accident happened as a result of the renter’s negligence, the renter is responsible. If the accident was the result of negligence regarding the building or maintenance, the liability would fall on the actual owner.
