Most people are probably aware that landlords may be subject to liability for injuries sustained on their property. However, they may not be aware that there may be certain exceptions to that rule, depending on the circumstances of the injury.

He falls to the concrete floor 30 feet below, sustaining significant injuries to his arms and legs.
