Premises liability is a body of law that addresses breach of due diligence by property owners to provide a safe environment for visitors. It is a legal concept that comes into play in circumstances where the property owner fails to take necessary precautions to remove known hazardous conditions or to post clearly visible warnings of potential danger to prevent injury to anyone visiting the property. Failure to provide adequate warning signs in areas that can clearly be seen by individuals on the property increases opportunities for accidents to occur that can lead to serious injuries or death.
Property owners refer to:
- Homeowners
- Small Business owners
- Rental Properties owners or management companies
- Commercial property operators such as grocery stores, hotels, shopping malls, bars and restaurants, entertainment venues, gym owners, hospitals to name a few.
Visitors to the property are typically referred to as:
- Invitees represent customers doing business or attending a social event in which there is an implied promise that reasonable care has been taken to ensure safe conditions.
- A guest is a welcomed visitor to a property for a short or long-term accommodation or an individual that has been invited to a social event in a home with the reasonable expectation that it is a hazard free environment.
- Licensees enter the property for their own purpose, or as a social guest with the consent of the owner with no implied promise of care.
- Trespassers do so without invitation or welcome and without promise that the premises have been made reasonably safe against the possibility of injury.
