Premises Liability Cases Hinge On The Nature Of The Relationship Between The Property Owner And Victim

Under New Jersey law, landowners owe a duty of care to protect entrants to their property from harm. However, that duty of care is directly related to the type of relationship that exists between the owner and property visitor. There are three categories of visitors:

• Invitees – Invitees, sometimes called business invitees or customers, are on the property to provide a potential benefit to the landowner and are owed the highest duty of care from landowners. Property owners are required to inspect the property, repair potentially hazardous conditions and warn visitors of potential defects and dangerous situations.
• Licensees – Licensees are most commonly social guests and are owed a moderate duty of care from property owners. Typically, landowners are not required to inspect the property for potential dangers and are only liable if he knows or should have known about a dangerous hazard.
• Trespassers – Property owners are only liable for a trespasser’s injuries if he intentionally or recklessly injures an innocent trespasser.

If you’ve been injured while on another’s property, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to determine if you have a viable claim for recovery.

Landowners Often Owe A Higher Duty Of Care To Children

The attractive nuisance doctrine is a legal principle that requires property owners to take reasonable steps to protect children that are enticed onto the property by an artificial condition. In addition, if it is reasonably foreseeable that a child may trespass on the property and there are hazards that a landowner has reason to know may cause injury, the property owner may be liable.
