Premises Liability Laws in North Dakota.

North Dakota Supreme Court abolished the traditional licensee/invitee distinction. Landowners owe lawful entrants a duty of reasonable care under the circumstances.

Trespassers are owed only a duty to avoid willful or wanton injury. Attractive-nuisance doctrine applies to trespassing children.

Landowners who permit free recreational use of their land owe no duty to keep the premises safe and are not liable absent willful or malicious failure to warn.

North Dakota follows the common-law one-bite rule. Plaintiffs must prove owner's actual or constructive knowledge of the dog's dangerous propensities, or prove negligence.
