Licensee

Licensee

A licensee is a person who is invited to enter and remain on the premises for any purpose besides a business or commercial one with the express or implied permission 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 the licensee due to a condition on the premises if, however only if, the plaintiff shows these three factors:
1. The possessor was aware of or ought to have been aware of the condition, ought to have understood that it involved an unreasonable risk of harm to the licensee, and ought to have expected that the licensee will not discover or realize the danger;
2. The possessor did not exercise reasonable care to make the condition safe, or to inform the licensee of the condition and the associated risk;
3. The licensee did not know or have reason to know of the condition and the associated risk.

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

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