Savannah GA premises owner liability

Savannah GA premises owner liability
Trespasser

A trespasser is a person who goes upon the premises of another without an express or implied invitation, for his or her own benefit, and when not performing of any duty to the owner. It is usually not necessary for a premises owner to establish that the trespasser had unlawful intent for making such an entry.

Where premises owners are not aware of the trespasser’s presence, they often have no duty to warn a trespasser of the dangers or to make their premises safe for the benefit of a trespasser. Where the premises owner is aware of the presence of trespassers, the premises owner may be obligated to exercise ordinary care in relation to a trespasser’s safety.

Public Roads and Sidewalks
Premises owners are often responsible for clearing public sidewalks in front of their premises, and to maintain their premises so as not to pose a risk to the persons who are passing by on a public street or sidewalk.

Non-Delegability of Duties
The duties of the premises owner are typically non-delegable. When the defendant remains in possession, the defendant cannot escape liability merely because he hired a company to provide maintenance. For example, a business will be liable for the condition of its parking lot, even if it has contracted with a landscaping company to look after the parking lot and to clear snow and ice. The landlord continues to be liable for the condition of the housing it owns, although it has contracted with a management company to look after all service and maintenance connected with the housing.
