Trespasser Liability: H.B. 767 (2016)

Mississippi

Provides that a possessor of land owes no duty of care to a trespasser, except to refrain from           willfully or wantonly injuring such a person.  The land possessor may be subject to liability for injury to a trespasser if the land possessor discovers the trespasser in a position of peril and fails        to exercise reasonable care, or the trespasser is a child injured by an artificial condition if specific        criteria are met.
