Liberty County, Georgia premises owner liability
Trespasser

The trespasser is a person who goes upon the premises of another in the absence of an express or implied invitation, for his or her own purposes, and when not performing of any duty to the owner. It is usually not required for a premises owner to show that the trespasser had unlawful intent for making such an entry.

If premises owners are not aware of the trespasser’s presence, they usually have no duty to inform a trespasser of the dangers or to make the premises safe for the benefit of a trespasser. When a premises owner is aware of the trespasser’s presence, the premises owner might be required to exercise ordinary care in relation to a trespasser’s safety.

Public Roads and Sidewalks
Premises owners are generally charged with clearing public sidewalks in front of their premises, and to take care of their premises so as not to pose a danger to the public who are passing by on the public street or sidewalk.

Non-Delegability of Duties
The obligations of a premises owner are typically non-delegable. If the defendant remains in possession, the defendant cannot avoid liability simply since he contracted with a company to look after maintenance. For instance, a business remains responsible for the condition of its parking lot, even tough it has hired a landscaping company to look after the parking lot and to remove snow and ice. The landlord remains liable for the condition of the housing it owns, even if it has hired a management company to look after all service and maintenance connected with the housing.
