Perhaps, and perhaps not. It just depends on the circumstances that led to the person being injured.
Contrary to popular belief, We are not automatically liable for everything that occurs on our property.
Just contact your insurance agent and explain what happened, He will likely be able to tell you if your liable or not.

∙ 14y agoYou may be liable if someone gets hurt on your property period, no matter the reason. In most states they must have been doing something legal. On the other had it could matter what part of your property they were on. It will depend on state law. The specific sport of paintball will probably make no difference from any other game. Liability is a local issue.

If someones child gets hurt on someone elses property who has to pay the charges?
Medical insurance covers accidental injury. It does not matter where your child gets hurt. Simply being the owner of a property does not automatically make one liable for everything that occurs on the property. If you feel the property owner was the cause or somehow responsible or otherwise liable for your child's injury you could file a suit against the property owner.

Are you liable if someone gets hurt on your property while helping you?
Maybe. It depends on how and why they were injured. You invited them on your property, so you owe them a high duty of care. If they were injured due to a faulty step or a hole in the ground that you should have repaired, you'd be liable. However, if they were injured due to their own negligence, you wouldn't be. For example, if I brought my own chain saw and my own beer onto your property and managed to cut myself while drunk, you probably wouldn't be liable.

If someone gets hurt in your above ground pool can you be sued?
Not necessarily, It just depends on how and why they were injured. A property owner is not automatically liable simply through property ownership. There would have to be some course of events that lead to your being responsible and therefore liable. Child or adult has little or no bearing at all on your liability except in some circumstances of whats called an attractive hazard such as unsecured pools, trampolines and playground equipment on your premises. You could be liable if a person was injured due to the property owners direct action or through inaction. You are not liable simply because you own the property. For you to be liable you would have to either inflict the injury yourself or have caused the injury by some action you took that created the condition which led to the injury or some in-action on your part as in a failure to mitigate a hazardous condition by the means that any other reasonable and prudent person would have taken.

What if someone is hurt on your property but you have someone renting it who is liable?
The person who was hurt will undoubtedly be able to find a lawyer willing to argue that you are liable. And that the renter is liable. And that the descendents of the person who originally sold you the house are liable, as are their mechanics, hairdressers, and employers. The point is this: you should immediately consult an attorney to find out how defensible your position is; the plaintiff can and probably will sue anybody who might even conceivably be remotely involved, and an attorney can advise you whether it would be better to fight or settle.
Why should someone get more than just house insurance when owning a home with property?
House insurance covers only damage to the actual house and contents. Additional insurance may be needed for outbuildings and other structures, such as fences. Liability insurance may also be needed in case somebody gets hurt on the property.
