All property owners are responsible for keeping their property in reasonably safe condition. If the hospital knew or should have known of a hazard and failed to take steps to correct it, even though there was time in which to do so, then it can be held legally liable for injuries that could foreseeably result. Of course, evidence for all of those factors will be required
