Premises liability laws in Idaho are based on the concept of negligence. This means that a property owner or occupier is liable for injuries that occur on their property if they knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to correct it.

The duty of care that a property owner owes to an individual on their property depends on the individual's status. There are three categories of individuals: invitees, licensees, and trespassers.

• Invitees are individuals who are invited onto the property for business purposes. Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care, which requires them to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn invitees of any known dangers.
• Licensees are individuals who are allowed onto the property for their own personal purposes, such as a social guest. Property owners owe licensees a duty to warn them of any known dangers that are not obvious, but they do not have to keep the premises in a safe condition.
• Trespassers are individuals who enter the property without permission. Property owners do not owe trespassers any duty of care, unless they create a dangerous condition that injures the trespasser.

In addition to the status of the individual, the premises liability laws in Idaho also consider the type of injury that occurred. Property owners are more likely to be liable for serious injuries, such as those that result in death or permanent disability.

If you are injured on someone else's property in Idaho, you may be able to file a premises liability claim against the property owner or occupier. To be successful in your claim, you will need to prove that the property owner or occupier was negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries. You may also be able to recover damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
