Colorado Revised Statute \u00a713-21-115<\/a> is meant to protect the injured, promote overall responsibility among property owners, and to control the cost and availability of insurance.<\/p>\nThis law also clarifies the definition of a land or property owner.<\/p>\n
It states that a landowner is the party that exercises control over the premises and has responsibility for its conditions or activity.<\/p>\n
Additionally, this person could either possess the property or act as an \u201cauthorized agent.\u201d<\/p>","hsc_add_button":"[elementor-template id=\"19900\"]"},{"_hsc_header_new":"What are the Classifications of Property Entrants in Fort Carson?","_hsc_sub_content_new":"
When determining whether a property owner is liable for an individual\u2019s injuries, it is first necessary to decide on this person\u2019s classification or relationship to the owner as either an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.<\/p>\n
An experienced Fort Carson lawyer could assess a premises liability case and determine if an individual may be eligible to receive compensation based on their status as a visitor.<\/p>\n
Invitees<\/h3>\n
An invitee is an individual that enters a property to conduct business that is of mutual interest to both parties.<\/p>\n
The owner is aware of or expects that an invitee will enter their premises.<\/p>\n
Some common examples of invitees include employees or customers.<\/p>\n
Licensees<\/h3>\n
A licensee is an individual that enters the property to further their interests.<\/p>\n
The property owner has permitted this individual\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n
Some common examples of these people may include social guests and volunteers.<\/p>\n
Trespassers<\/h3>\n
A trespasser enters the property without the permission of the owner.<\/p>\n
Trespassers cannot pursue compensation for injuries incurred unless that landowner had deliberately contributed to their injury.<\/p>","hsc_add_button":"[elementor-template id=\"19900\"]"},{"_hsc_header_new":"What Legal Responsibilities Do Landowners Have?","_hsc_sub_content_new":"
All property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises and to monitor for any potential hazards that may arise on their property.<\/p>\n
If a proprietor does find a dangerous condition on their property, they also have an obligation to either fix this hazard or warn their visitors of its existence.<\/p>\n
However, there is a subtle distinction between the landowner\u2019s duty as it relates to invitees and licensees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- A licensee may recover for injuries caused by conditions that the property owner had created and knew existed<\/li>\n
- A licensee may recover for damages from an unusual circumstance that the property owner did not create and knew existed<\/li>\n
- An invitee may recover for injuries caused by a dangerous condition that the owner was aware existed or should have been aware of<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
