Do I Have a Premises Liability Case?

When property owners are negligent in providing a reasonably safe environment for visitors, customers, hired workers, contractors, and anyone else invited onto their property, premises liability laws make it their responsibility to pay for damages. Injury alone isn't enough of a factor, however. Property owners must have been negligent in their duties for the courts to hold them responsible.

To have a case against a property owner for negligent conditions, the injured plaintiff must prove the owner failed to reasonably maintain the property and that this failure caused an injury. The premises liability lawyers at Schmidt, Sethi & Akmajian can help you determine your rights and your legal status on the property on which you sustained the injury.

In general, there are three different classes of people who enter a property:

Invitee

An invitee is a person who is expressly invited onto the property and the owner owes them the highest duty of care, which includes taking every reasonable precaution to ensure their safety.

Licensee

A licensee, however, is one who enters the property for his or her own purposes but has consent of the owner. In the case of a licensee, the owner is required to warn of hidden dangers, but is not necessarily required to repair these hazards.

Trespasser

A trespasser enters the property without any right to do so, and the owner generally has no duty to take reasonable care of his property or warn of hidden dangers. However, if a trespasser can show that the owner knew it was likely that trespassers would enter the property, they could possibly be held liable for any injuries, under specific circumstances. But, regardless of whether a person is considered to be a trespasser, it is always a landowner's duty to warn of prospective dangers with respect to children.
