Generally, Maryland laws views an LLC as a person. In other words, an LLC can enter into contracts, convey property, sue and be sued. Specifically, the answer to your question is "It depends." Is there a partnership or operating agreement in place? What are the terms? Indemnity provisions? Agreements not to sue?
You don't describe the property, manner of the person upon the property or injuries. Property held by an LLC can be attached.
Maryland law requires an analysis as to a person upon property to determine liability. Contact an attorney to discuss.
