§ 41.515. Limitations on liability; exceptions; “trespasser” defined

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, an owner of any estate or interest

in any premises, or a lessee or an occupant of any premises, owes no duty of care

to a trespasser and is not liable to a trespasser for physical harm caused by the

failure to exercise reasonable care to put the premises in a condition that is reasonably

safe for the entry or use by a trespasser or to carry on activities on the premises

so as not to endanger a trespasser. 2. An owner, lessee or occupant of premises may be subject to liability for harm to

a trespasser if: (a) The owner, lessee or occupant willfully or wantonly causes harm to the trespasser; (b) The owner, lessee or occupant fails to exercise reasonable care to prevent harm

to the trespasser after discovering the trespasser's presence in a place of danger

on the premises; or (c) The trespasser is a child who is injured by an artificial condition on the premises

and: (1) The place where the condition exists is one on which the owner, lessee or occupant

knows or has reason to know that a child is likely to trespass; (2) The condition is one that the owner, lessee or occupant knows or has reason to

know and that the owner, lessee or occupant realizes or should realize involves an

unreasonable risk of death or serious bodily harm to a trespassing child; (3) The trespassing child, because of his or her youth, does not discover the condition

or realize the risk involved in the condition or coming within the area made dangerous

by it; (4) The utility to the owner, lessee or occupant of maintaining the condition and

the burden of eliminating the danger are slight as compared with the risk to the trespassing

child; and (5) The owner, lessee or occupant fails to exercise reasonable care to eliminate the

danger or to otherwise protect the trespassing child from harm. 3. This section does not affect any immunity from or defenses to civil liability established

by specific statute or available at common law to which an owner, lessee or occupant

may be entitled. 4. As used in this section, “ trespasser ” means any person who enters or remains upon any premises owned, leased or occupied

by another person without the express or implied consent of the owner, lessee or occupant

of the premises.
