Premise liability is a subcategory of personal injury law. Just like a normal personal injury case, there is a victim who has been injured due to unsafe or defective conditions on someone else's property. The owner or occupant of the property owes a duty of care to invitees in order to protect them from dangerous conditions, defects, and unreasonable risks of harm on the property.

If a property owner finds that there is a dangerous condition on the property, they must repair the defect or provide adequate warning to visitors when they enter the property. When the landlord fails to keep the property reasonably safe, they are held liable for any injuries sustained by visitors.

This can include medical damages and pain and suffering caused by the accident. We can help hold landlords accountable and recover these damages for victims.

It's important to note that a landlord's duty can change depending on whether the person on the property is a trespasser, licensee, or invitee. We will define these terms and establish the landlord's duty to each type of visitor.

What duty of care does a Landlord owe an Invitee?

An invitee is exactly what it sounds like. A person who has been invited to the landowner's premises. An invitee extends to people of the public who have been invited onto the property for business dealings, such as stores for example.

Here the landlord has a duty to repair and fix and known dangerous conditions, and he or she is also responsible for inspecting the property for unknown or otherwise dangerous conditions that an invitee would have had access to.

What duty of care does a Landlord owe a Licensee?

A licensee is a licensed person who enters a landlord's premises because they have consent to do so. When a licensee enters another's property, the licensee benefits rather than the property owner. Property owners make sure that the property is safe for licensees. Generally, a landlord owes a lesser duty to an invitee.

However, it is important to note that they must protect licensees from all known dangerous conditions. They are typically required to inspect the property for hidden or unknown dangers. When they fail to do so, contact our premises liability lawyer immediately. 

Trespassers are simply known as people who are not given permission to enter the land of the property owner. These unauthorized visitors are not owed any duty of protection from known dangers or hidden dangers. However, landlords may not use their property to intentionally injure trespassers. If a landlord knows about frequent trespassing on his or her property.

The landlord can be liable for injuries that resulted on the property if it is found that the landlord created or maintained the dangerous condition or if they fail to notify the trespasser of the dangers on the property. In a situation like this, a trespasser would be within their rights to attain us to file your claim.
