In Nelson v. Freeland, 349 N.C. 615, 507 S.E.2d 882 (1998), the North Carolina Supreme Court "eliminated the distinctions between licensees and invitees, and established 'a standard of reasonable care toward all lawful visitors.'" Lorinovich v. KMart Corp., 134 N.C. App. 158, 161, 516 S.E.2d 643, 646 (quoting Nelson, 349 N.C. at 631, 507 S.E.2d at 892), cert. denied, 351 N.C. 107, 541 S.E.2d 148 (1999). Pursuant to Nelson, a landowner is "required to exercise reasonable care to provide for the safety of all lawful visitors on his property." Id. A landowner, therefore, must "take reasonable precautions to ascertain the condition of the property and to either make it reasonably safe or give warnings as may be reasonably necessary to inform the lawful visitor of any foreseeable danger." Lorinovich, 134 N.C. App. at 161-62, 516 S.E.2d at 646.
