In Georgia, a property owner or possessor is responsible for any damages incurred by individuals on their premises due to negligence depending on the relationship between the parties. Under Georgia premises liability laws, those who may bring a claim are classified as either invitees, licensees, or trespassers.

1. Invitees are people such as customers, vendors, and business visitors that have been expressly or implicitly invited onto the property by the owner or possessor. The owner or possessor owes an invitee the duty of reasonable care and can be liable for damages resulting from any failure in that duty. For example, a proprietor is usually expected to inspect the property for hazardous conditions and address them before any invitees arrive.
2. Licensees are people who enter someone else’s property with permission but without economic benefit to the property holder, such as a social guest, friend, or door-to-door salesperson. Property owners owe a moderate duty of care to licensees. For example, if they know of any property hazards, then the licensee should be warned about them.
3. Trespassers are people who enter another’s property without permission or right, and often to commit a crime. Property owners owe trespassers a minimal duty of care, which typically means that they must not willfully create a situation that will cause injury to a trespasser. Don’t assume that you can’t file a claim if you were trespassing when you were injured. It is best to talk to a premises liability attorney about your options.
