The reason that you are at a location, or your status, can impact your right to compensation.
The owner or person in control of property owes a variable duty to protect people on that property from harm. The responsibility depends on the class of individual assigned under the law. The law recognizes four classes of people who could be injured on another’s property. As Attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you.
The last category is fairly self-explanatory. A bare licensee has permission to be on the property, but not at the owner’s request, and is there for his or her own business. The owner of a premises really owes no obligation to individual falling into these classes, other than to refrain from intentionally harming them. So, if the contention is that person slipped on ice or snow, and sustained personal injury, and the person is deemed a trespasser or bare licensee, there is no responsibility or liability on the part of the property owner for that injury. The analysis can be different, and nuanced when invitees are involved in personal injury causing events.
I’ve made a career of battling insurance companies, and I have found that premises liability cases are often the most challenging. I’d be happy to take a complimentary look at your claim and offer my opinions and advice. Feel free to contact me today to schedule a discussion.

Eric T. Kirk Baltimore Personal Injury Trial Lawyer
For over three decades, I have battled against the nation’s largest insurance companies, always endeavoring to ensure my clients receive the compensation they deserve. As lead counsel in thousands of cases across Maryland, New York, and Florida, I have recovered millions for clients whose claims were wrongfully denied and delayed. Whether denying fair compensation for a personal injury victim or denying benefits to a homeowner, Insurance companies employ policy exclusions, technicalities, and lowball offers to deny and defeat claims. They also hire very good lawyers to fight you in court. So should you. When an insurance company unfairly rejects a claim, I stop them.
For the last 30 years, I’ve battled the insurance industry to ensure my clients receive full, fair and just compensation. I’ve secured millions of dollars for my clients after litigating claims that were denied or undervalued by their insurance company.
