How to Identify Your Status as a Visitor on Someone Else’s Property?

Your eligibility to seek compensation in a premises liability case depends on your status as a visitor on the property where you sustained your injury. There are three different categories of visitors under premises liability law like Invitee, Licensee and Trespasser.

What is Involved in A Premises Liability Case?

Recovering damages in a premises liability case requires extensive knowledge of Pennsylvania premises liability law, as the victim needs to establish four elements in order to receive compensation for his or her injury sustained on someone else’s property:

  • The owner of the property where the accident occurred owed the victim a duty of care.
  • There was a dangerous or hazardous condition on the property.
  • The dangerous condition was a direct or proximate cause of the victim’s injury.
  • The victim suffered damages as a result of the premises liability accident.
