Invitee

Invitee

The invitee is the individual who is invited to enter and remain on the premises for a commercial benefit to the possessor of premises, or for a reason directly or indirectly connected with business dealings with the possessor. An invitation can be either express or implied. A consumer in a department store is an invitee, since the department store actively invites the public to enter the premises and to purchase goods while on the premises. A premises owner has the highest duty of care to the invitee.

Generally, a possessor has a duty to use ordinary care to warn or otherwise protect an invitee from risks of harm resulting from a condition on the possessor's premises if the risk of harm is unreasonable, and a possessor is aware of or in the exercise of ordinary care ought to know of the condition, and should understand that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm to an invitee.

A possessor can have a duty to regularly inspect the premises for the introduction of hazards to invitees. For instance, a grocery store may be required to periodically check its floors for the presence of spilled or broken merchandise, and to ensure that the products are not likely to fall from its shelves.

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