Invitees
If the person was on the premises for the material benefit of the property owner, then that person is considered an “invitee.” Invitees are owed the highest duty of care to prevent injuries. The typical example of an invitee is when a person goes to a store to buy items.
If the injured person is an invitee, we must prove that (1) there was a dangerous condition (2) that the owner knew of or should have known of (3) that caused you to fall; and (4) that the owner did not take reasonable measures to warn about or fix the dangerous condition. In addition, we must be able to show that the dangerous condition was not “open and obvious” to the injured person.
