Property Managers Can Be Held Liable for Your Injuries, Too
It is not uncommon for property owners of retail stores, strip malls and other businesses to sign contracts with management companies to provide regular maintenance and upkeep. In the event of an injury on a business or private property, property managers share a portion of the liability for compensating the victim for damages.
Property owners typically have responsibility for the safety of the public entering their premises for business, recreational or personal purposes. Property managers are often contractually obligated to meet these responsibilities on behalf of the owner. In most cases, this includes providing adequate security in parking lots and ramps, keeping repairs updated and removing hazards promptly if they become a danger to the visiting public. In the event snow, ice, standing water or other hazards cannot be removed immediately, the property manager's responsibility includes sufficiently warning the public to prevent a slip-and-fall accident.
