Under Delaware's guest statute, which of the following is true regarding liability for trespassers?

Under Delaware's guest statute, the correct understanding regarding liability for trespassers is that owners are liable for intentional misconduct only. This reflects a principle where property owners do owe some level of duty to trespassers, but this duty is very limited. Specifically, owners can be held liable if they engage in intentional acts that cause harm to the trespasser.

In Delaware, this is a well-established rule. While some states may have different standards regarding the treatment of trespassers, Delaware specifically allows for liability only in cases of intentional harm, rather than negligence or for all injuries. Thus, if an owner intentionally acts in a way that causes injury to a trespasser, they can be held accountable, but if the owner is merely negligent or there are no intentional acts, they typically have no liability under this statute. This principle helps protect property owners while balancing the rights of individuals who may enter the property without permission.
