When guests are invited for social visits or to conduct business, the business owners, homeowners, and landowners owe them safe experiences.
Owners must warn social visitors about concealed hazardous conditions, such as slippery stairs, whether they are natural or created by the owner.
The highest duty to keep people safe is owed to visitors conducting business that benefits the owner, such as those who own restaurants or commercial stores. Business owners must warn customers of known hazards and repair them within a reasonable time. They must also regularly inspect the premises for hazards, warn customers, address hazards as they are discovered, and incur liability for them. If the area the business is in is known for assaults, security measures may be required, such as cameras, lighting, and even security guards, for volatile businesses like bars.
