Premises Liability and Your Brooklyn Slip and Fall Case

Property owners in Brooklyn have a responsibility to make sure that their premises are safe for guests when they visit. The lengths to which an owner must go to keep you safe ultimately depends on why you’re there.

Invitee: An invitee is someone who visits property for the benefit of the owner. You’d be considered an invitee if you went to a ball game at the Barclays Center, out to eat at a Brooklyn restaurant, or shopping in a local store. Your visit benefits the owner and business. Owners have a responsibility to regularly inspect their premises for hidden dangers and potential fall risks to protect invitees. If there’s a known hazard, the owner has to disclose that to you.

Licensee: A licensee is someone who visits property for a social, rather than business, purpose. You’d be considered a licensee if you visited a friend or family member’s home. Owners don’t have to regularly inspect for hazards, but do have to disclose known dangers.

Trespasser: A trespasser is someone who enters land or property without the owner’s permission or consent. Owners don’t have to inspect property, but might have to disclose known dangers if they know (or should know) that a trespasser is likely to enter their land. This is especially true in regard to children.

When a property owner fails to demonstrate the necessary duty of care, they can be on the hook for resulting injuries and harm.
