Provisions on the punishment of property liability for falls of the elderly

Because there are no lights on the stairs in the residential area, the elderly fall down and the residential property is neglected, so they should bear certain legal responsibilities.

According to Article 37 of the Tort Liability Law, managers of hotels, shopping malls, banks, stations, entertainment places and other public places or organizers of mass activities who fail to fulfill their security obligations and cause damage to others shall bear tort liability.

If the behavior of a third party causes damage to others, the third party shall bear the tort liability; If the manager or organizer fails to fulfill the obligation of safety guarantee, it shall bear corresponding supplementary responsibilities.

Therefore, in the daily management of residential property in public places in residential areas, infringement cases occur, and negligence in management causes injuries to the elderly and should bear certain legal responsibilities.
