Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An invitee is someone who enters the land with the landowner's express or implied invitation, such as a customer in a store. The landowner owes an invitee the highest duty of care, including taking reasonable steps to discover any dangers and warning or correcting the danger. Licensees, who enter with the landowner's permission but for their own purposes, and guests, who enter as social guests, also have a duty owed to them, but not to the same extent as invitees. Trespassers enter the land without any permission or invitation and are generally owed no duty of care except in limited circumstances (such as if the landowner knows there are likely to be child trespassers and fails to take steps to protect them).
