Liability for damage caused by a missing manhole cover typically falls on the entity responsible for maintaining the public infrastructure, such as the local government or municipal authority. If the missing cover is on private property, the property owner may be liable. Additionally, if negligence can be proven, such as failure to inspect or repair, the responsible party may face legal repercussions. Ultimately, the specific circumstances and local laws will determine liability.
