MS SB2806

Landowners, lessees, and other property possessors are not liable for injuries to trespassers, with limited exceptions.

Possessors may be held liable if injury results from willful or wanton conduct, or if a child trespasser is injured by an artificial condition the possessor knew was dangerous and failed to remedy.

Possessors may be liable if they discover a trespasser in peril or helplessness and fail to exercise ordinary care to avoid further injury.

Commercial property owners are not liable to business invitees or licensees for third-party negligence or criminal conduct unless the injured party proves by clear and convincing evidence that the property owner's actions impelled the third party's conduct.

Effective July 1, 2012.
