Determining Your Role

The compensation a property owner is obligated to provide depends on if the injured guest is a/an:

  • Invitee: Someone who was invited to the premises to conduct business, such as a customer at a store. In these situations, the owner is required to provide the highest level of care, regularly inspecting their property and warning of hazards. The owner can even be held liable for hazards of which he or she was unaware.
  • Licensee: Someone invited to the premises for social purposes, such as a visit from family or friends. In this relationship, the property owner is required to fix any hazards he or she is aware of, but cannot be held liable for dangers they did not know about.
  • Trespasser: Someone who was not invited and should not have been on the premises. In this case, the property owner’s responsibility is far less than with either of the others.
