THERE ARE A COUPLE TYPES OF VISITORS IN REGARDS TO PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS

• Invitees – who are welcomed visitors to a commercial property for the property owner’s benefit

• Licensees – who are welcomed visitors to a non-commercial property for the property owner’s benefit

• Trespassers – who are unauthorized visitors and are those who illegally enter a property

SAFETY OBLIGATIONS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS

• To seek out and to warn visitors of potentially dangerous hazards on their property

• To warn visitors of any pre-existing safety hazards on the property of which the property owner is aware

However, property owners do not have to follow all of these safety obligations for all three types of visitors. Invitees are the only type of visitor that must be afforded to all three types of visitors.
