What Is the Illinois Premises Liability Act?
Illinois law requires property owners to use reasonable care to maintain safe premises for invitees and licensees. Invitees are those who are on a property for business purposes, such as a delivery person, a retail shopper, a restaurant diner, or a contractor working on a property. Licensees are people who are on a property for social or non-business-related purposes. Both groups are welcome on the property, unlike trespassers.
