As you might imagine, larger commercial properties have layers of shared responsibility. Ultimately, the owner is responsible for meeting all their statutory duties and taking all reasonable steps to keep their property safe. Quite often, the owners of these types of properties hire property managers, superintendents, security guards, cleaners, or winter maintenance contractors to perform specific duties on-site.

Depending on what caused you to fall, the owner might share the blame with one of its contractors for any deficiencies in their system of inspection and maintenance.
