- Negligent Security: Inadequate security measures leading to assaults or other criminal activities.
- Dangerous Conditions: Such as broken stairs, faulty handrails, or unsafe construction zones.
- Dog Bites: Injuries caused by aggressive or unrestrained dogs on the property.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning or injuries due to insufficient fencing or supervision.
