Q An employee of a tenant at the office building I own is suing me for negligence, claiming that my property manager's failure to repair a loose step caused the employee to fall down a stairway, injuring his back and neck. The manager had recently fixed other loose steps on the staircase, but hadn't noticed a problem with the step that later injured the employee. Could I be liable for his accident even though the step had become faulty since the original repairs?
