Types of Visitors in Premises Liability Cases

One of the biggest factors in your premises liability case is what kind of visitor you were. This determines the level of care that the owner owed you and is a factor in the amount of compensation you could receive.

South Carolina categorizes visitors as:

  • Invitees: Those who have entered the property with the owner’s direct or implied invitation. An example would be customers or hotel guests. The owner owes this type of visitor the highest level of care.
  • Licensees: Those who have entered the property with the owner’s consent. An example would be a social guest. The owner owes this type of visitor a high level of care.
  • Adult trespassers: Those who have entered the property without the owner’s permission. The owner does not owe a level of care, other than purposely causing the trespasser to be injured.
  • Children: An owner is responsible to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of a child who may wander onto the property. An example would be putting a fence around a swimming pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I Have to File a Premises Liability Claim in South Carolina?

Generally, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a premises liability claim. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. Failing to file within this timeframe can result in losing your right to seek compensation. However, there are exceptions—such as cases involving delayed discovery of the injury or if the injured person is a minor—that may extend the deadline. That’s why it’s essential to consult a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible. An attorney can help determine how much time you have and begin building a strong case on your behalf.

What Types of Damages Can I Receive in a Premises Liability Claim?

After a premises liability accident, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover financial losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and future treatment costs. Non-economic damages address the intangible impact of your injuries, including pain and suffering and emotional distress.Our experienced premises liability attorney in Myrtle Beach can evaluate your case and help determine the full scope of compensation you may be entitled to pursue.
