Can a Trespasser Who Suffered Injuries Sue the Property Owner?
An injured individual who sustained those injuries while trespassing can pursue a premises liability claim in particular and restricted situations. Finally, because they have no means of knowing when trespassers are on their land, it is not necessary for property owners to notify trespassers of hazards. Only if a property owner deliberately hurts a trespasser is a trespasser owed safety. Property owners, for example, cannot use pre-set traps to injure trespassers. Similarly, property owners are prohibited from attacking or harming trespassers who do not pose a threat to them.
