Recovery in a Premises Liability Claim
Property owners do not owe every visitor to their property the same standard of care and consideration and can avoid liability for some premises-related accidents. The property owner’s responsibility for a visitor depends on the classification of the visitor.
There are three types of visitors, including:
- Invitees. An invitee is anyone the owner permits to enter the property by express or implied invitation such as a customer at a business. Property owners owe invitees a high standard of care and must remove any existing property hazards, check for any unknown threats, and warn visitors about any known dangers.
- Licensees. A licensee enters a property with the owner’s permission for his or her purposes. A licensee is often a salesperson. Property owners must warn licensees of dangerous conditions.
- Trespassers. A trespasser is not authorized to enter the premises. Landowners do not owe any duty of care to trespassers. Some exceptions do exist for children.
