Grounds for a Premises Liability Claim
In a premises liability case, the burden of proof falls on the plaintiff. When proving property owner negligence, the victims must also demonstrate that something called "duty of care" was not present. Duty of care is the responsibility property owners have to provide safe conditions to welcome visitors of their property.
Plaintiffs must demonstrate that:
- Duty of care was owed to them by a property owner
- The conditions present reflect a lack of duty of care
- The lack of duty of care led directly to the injury
It is important to recognize that not everyone on a property is owed duty of care. Traditionally, visitors classified as "invitees" or "licensees" are owed duty of care. These visitors include patrons, customers, or guests of a property. Property owners are usually not responsible for the safety of trespassers to a property—unless the trespasser is a child.
