The tenant is.
The landlord only if he has not fulfilled his obligations. Such as if a tenant gets an electric shock from a plug socket and burns themselves and the electric had not been tested and certified then the landlord would be liable.

It depends what caused the injury, and how detailed the contract is....if the injury was caused by something that needed to be fixed and that has been reported to you, or something structural. Basically, if a fault of the property caused the injury, and it wasn't just a personal accident, you may be liable....otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. |

If the tenant brings suit and to avoid the issue of indespensable party dismissal usually everybody and anybody that has anything to do with the property is mentioned. Ask a lawyer |

need more facts to determine if the landlord is liable, just because a person is injured on a property does not automatically mean landlord is liable |

Depends upon the circumstances. If it's due to his own negligence, then he is clearly liable for his own injuries. If it's an "unavoidable accident" then the tenant again is liable for his own injuries.
The only time that the landlord would be liable would be if he was negligent. Failure to make a timely repair of a hazardous condition that he knew about or should have reasonably known about would be an example where the landlor would be liable. |

In most cases, the tenant is liable and can make a claim against his / her household insurance and a visitor to the tenant's home can claim against the tenant's insurance if a visitor is injured. However, if a tenant can prove that a landlord had failed to make safe a repair, that had been reported, or an agent for the landlord (tradesman) had made a bad repair, left the property unsafe etc. then the landlord is liable as well as the tradesman. Apart from the option to sue for damages, the tenant can also call in the Health and Safety Executive and have the landlord, the tradesman or both criminally prosecuted in the case of negligence. A criminal case can also be brought against a landlord for failing to repair, under the Housing Acts |

Depends on how they got injured.
If the roof collapsed, then the home owner,
if he tripped on his end table, then the tenant,
So.. need more information to give an accurate answer. |

Depends on how he sustained his injury, you need to be more specific. |

Depends on how the tenant got injured...............if it was a fault with something on or in the property and it was reported but nothing was done to fix it, then the landlord will be liable. |

Depends if you got an electric shock due to faulty wiring then landlord, but a normal injury is down to you, cant blame anyone for that. |

What are his injuries and how did he do it? |

It depends how they hurt themselves. If it was because of faulty equipment that you provided then you have a responsibility. If on the other hand they hurt themselves with say an electric kettle then you have no responsibility at all. |
