Licensee

Licensee

The licensee is a person who is invited to get in or 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 will be considered to be a licensee, not an invitee.

Often, a possessor of premises is liable for physical harm caused to a licensee as a result of a condition on the premises if, but only if, the claimant demonstrates these three factors:
1. The possessor knew or must have been aware of the condition, should have realized that it involved an unreasonable risk of harm to the licensee, and must have expected that the licensee will not discover or realize the danger;
2. The possessor failed to exercise reasonable care to make the condition safe, or to notify the licensee of the condition and the connected risk;
3. The licensee did not know or have reason to know of the condition and the associated risk.

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

If you are an licensee and have suffered injuries on another’s property, contact a Richmond Hill, GA premises liability attorney.
