Premises liability law is the field of law concerning the responsibilities of property owners when injuries happen on their property as a result of negligence. It might seem like a simple law, but in fact, it can be quite complicated. Many factors play a part in determining responsibility for injuries on the property in question. Certain laws apply to certain types of property whether the property is residential property, farm or recreational property or commercial property. Louisiana Premises Liability lawyers can help you ascertain if you should be entitled to compensation for your accident.
Also taken into consideration in premises liability law is the status of the person injured while on the premises and what duties are owed by the property owner depends on that status. There are higher duties that are normally owed by property owners to an invitee versus the duties owed to a licensee. An invitee is someone who was invited onto the property by implied or expressed invitation. A licensee is someone who was on the property for his own personal reasons or a trespasser who was on the property without permission to be there.
In addition to those factors, there are other contractual duties that are owed under a rental contract if the property owner is the landlord of the person injured. All of these factors have to be thoroughly explored in each case to determine who is responsible and what is owed to the injured person.
