OKLAHOMA CITY PREMISE
LIABILITY LAWYER
EXPLAINS PREMISE
LIABILITY CASES

2. THESE ARE TORT CASES
WHERE A VISITOR TO A
PROPERTY WAS
MATERIALLY HARMED AND
IS SUING THE OWNER OF
SAID PROPERTY.
What are
Premise
Liability Cases?

3. SUCH CASES CAN BE
SUBDIVIDED INTO
THREE BROAD
CATEGORIES:
INVITEE LICENSEE TRESPASSER

4. A PERSON WHO WAS
INVITED ONTO THE
PROPERTY FOR
PURPOSES OF
CONDUCTING BUSINESS.
INVITEE

5. THIS INVITATION
CAN BE
Express Implied

6. IF YOU HAVE AN
APPOINTMENT TO
BE THERE,
YOU WERE
EXPRESSLY INVITED.

7. BUT IF YOU ARE A
CUSTOMER AT A STORE,
EVEN WITHOUT A
WRITTEN INVITATION
YOU WERE STILL
INVITED TO BE THERE.

8. BECAUSE COMMERCIAL
VENTURES EXPRESSLY
INVITE THE PUBLIC ONTO
THEIR PROPERTY IN ORDER
TO CONDUCT BUSINESS.
Why?

9. THE PROPERTY OWNER
HAS A STRONGER
OBLIGATION TO WARN
THEM OF DANGER AND
PROTECT THEM
FROM ANY HARM.
Invitees are
owed the
highest duty
of care

10. SOMEONE WHO IS ON THE
PROPERTY OF ANOTHER
WITH THEIR PERMISSION.
LICENSEE

11. BECAUSE THE PURPOSE
OF THEIR VISIT IS
NON-COMMERCIAL AND
NON-BUSINESS IN NATURE.
This is
consider as
a social
relationship.
WHY?

12. A PROPERTY OWNER HAS A
SIMILAR LEVEL OF OBLIGATION
OR DUTY OF CARE TO A
LICENSEE AS THEY WOULD
HAVE TO AN INVITEE.
In
most
states

13. ARE ENTITLED
TO THE SAME
EXPECTATION OF SAFETY.
Guests at a
party and
customers
in a store

14. OR THE UNINVITED:
A PERSON WHO IS ON THE
PROPERTY ILLEGALLY.
TRESPASSER

15. SO, THE PROPERTY OWNER
HAS THE LOWEST DUTY
OF CARE TO THEM.
They may have
been warned that
their presence
there is unwanted
and illegal.

16. IT DEPENDS ON SITUATION.
PROPERTY OWNER MAY STILL
BE HELD LIABLE FOR INJURY TO
SUCH INDIVIDUALS.
However, this
does not mean
there is
no duty of care.

17. IF YOU WERE INVITED
TO BE THERE,
YOU HAVE A STRONGER CASE
THAN IF YOU WERE NOT.
SOMETHING TO
BEAR IN MIND
