Philadelphia partner Jacob Kratt and Harrisburg partner Rolf Kroll presented “Contractor Deliveries & Premises Liability” at the Pennsylvania Association of Mutual Insurance Companies Claims Summit on April 16, 2025 in Lancaster, PA.
This presentation discussed premises liability lawsuits involving delivery drivers and contractors in Pennsylvania center and the duty of care owed to business invitees, including third-party delivery drivers. Property owners, DNCs, and 3PLs may face exposure depending on control over delivery operations and site conditions. Key defenses include the open and obvious doctrine, assumption of risk, and comparative negligence—while evolving insurance coverage and contractor status issues add complexity to claims handling and resolution.
