Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 23.030
Invitee’s Right to Assume Safe Condition of Premises
An invitee has the right to assume that the premises are reasonably safe for his visit. This
assumption does not apply if the invitee [knows, or should have known, of the unsafe condition; uses
the premises in a manner that exceeds the scope of the invitation; goes to a place on the premises where
the invitee is not reasonably expected to go].
