Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 15.8
Delaware Premises Guest Statute
GUEST STATUTE
Under the Landowner Guest Statute, a person who enters someone else’s land
as a guest without payment or as a trespasser cannot make a claim for any injuries
or damages occurring on the premises unless the owner or occupier either
intentionally caused the injuries or damages, or unless they were caused by the
owner’s or occupier’s willful or wanton disregard of the rights of such persons.
You must consider only whether [plaintiff’s name] has proved that
[defendant’s name] intentionally, willfully, or wantonly disregarded the rights of
[plaintiff’s name].
