Both commercial and residential property owners have a responsibility to protect the safety of guests and customers. Negligent behavior is displayed by property owners who neglect to keep their properties safe.

For example, if someone is hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s property, the owner or operator of that property could be held responsible.
