Licensee

Licensee

A licensee is an individual who is invited to get in and remain on the premises for any purpose besides a business or commercial one with the express or implied consent of the owner or person in control of the premises. A social guest is considered to be a licensee, not an invitee.

Generally, a possessor of premises is liable for physical harm suffered by the licensee as a result of a condition on the premises if, however only if, the claimant demonstrates these three elements:
1. The possessor was aware of or must have been aware of the condition, ought to have realized that it involved an unreasonable risk of harm to the licensee, and must have expected that the licensee may not discover or realize the danger;
2. The possessor did not exercise reasonable care to make the condition safe, or to warn the licensee of the condition and the connected risk;
3. The licensee did not realize or have reason to realize the condition and the associated risk.

For example, when a homeowner knows that a step leading into a basement is broken but does not appear to be broken to a reasonably observant person, the homeowner might be liable to a guest who, without notice of that broken step, is injured as the step gave way.

If you are an licensee and have suffered injuries on another’s property, contact a Chatham County, Georgia premises liability law firm.
