"The deals you miss don’t hurt you”-B.D. Raney Sr. |
What is the legal term for having something SO interesting on your property that it actually makes YOU liable when someone trespasses and gets injured ? Or did I Dream this? | ||

Not a lawyer but I believe the term is “attractive nuisance.” | |||

The attractive nuisance doctrine applies to the law of torts, in the United States. It states that a landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on the land if the injury is caused by an object on the land that is likely to attract children. | |||

Attractive nuisance is correct. It's been a while, but I think it only applies to youngsters. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

It's the reason we have a 1 million dollar umbrella policy. We have domestic ducks and geese free ranging in one of our fields that get a lot of attention from kids in the area. It was worse when we raised hogs and beef cattle. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||
