What Is Premises Liability Law?
Premises liability law states that a property owner will be responsible for accidents that happen on the property if he or she owed a duty of care to the victim, breached this duty and caused the accident. An example of a breach of duty of care is a property owner failing to rake a pile of leaves that is concealing a sprinkler head before welcoming guests to the property, leading to a trip and fall accident. In this example, the injured victim would have grounds for a premises liability claim if he or she was an invitee or licensee. Invitees and licensees are guests with permission to be on a property. Duties of care to invitees are to repair obvious risks, warn of nonobvious risks and inspect the property for hidden hazards. Owners owe the first two duties of care to licensees, but not the third. All duties of care end when someone trespasses on a property. If you did not have permission to enter the property on the day of your injury, the owner might not have owed you any duties of care. Therefore, you may be unable to file a claim for damages.
