Property Owners’ Duty of Care in Louisiana

In Louisiana, the standard of care that a property owner owes you depends on the relationship that you have with them. For example, if you’re trespassing on their property, they can’t be held liable for any injuries that you suffer.

Louisiana law divides people entering another person’s property into three categories:

  • Invitees are anyone who have been invited for business purposes, including customers, contractors, or delivery people. Property owners owe the highest standard of care to invitees. They must regularly check for any hazards, and immediately fix a hazard or warn people about it.
  • Licensees include anyone who has been invited for non-business purposes, including social guests at a home, or someone who came into a store to use the restroom. Property owners owe a lower standard of care to licensees, but they still must take reasonable care to avoid any injuries.
  • Trespassers include anyone who enters private property illegally or without permission. Property owners do not owe any standard of care to trespassers, although there are some exceptions, including when the property owner should have anticipated that there would be trespassers.

Most premises liability lawsuits are filed by invitees, such as customers at a business or people on public property. But under certain circumstances, you may be able to file a lawsuit as a licensee or even a trespasser.
