Owners or proprietors of residential, commercial and public property owe a duty of care under the law. This duty entails making sure that the premises are free from hazard or defect that render them unsafe to visitors and members of the public. If the conditions of a building or property are unsafe due to slippery floors, uneven steps, parking lot potholes, cracked sidewalks, broken tiles or torn carpeting, these can create dangerous situations for visitors to the property. When a visitor falls or is otherwise hurt while on the premises and it can be established that the requisite duty of care has not been satisfied, the owner of the property may be found negligent and held responsible for the damages sustained by the injured party.
