As experienced premises liability attorneys, we’ve seen that a lot of premises liability cases occur in the summer. The key to having a fun summer is safety. Major causes of premises liability claims in the summer are poison oak and ivy, wooden decks, pools, outdoor concerts, and amusement parks. If you plan on attending an event, visiting a friend, or hosting friends at your property, make sure to be mindful of your safety and others’ to prevent a premises liability injury. Wooden decks should be inspected for nails and rotten wood to prevent any premises liability injuries. Pools should have the proper safety equipment, maintenance, and supervision when used to prevent slip-and-falls or drownings. The American Red Cross has tips for pool owners that you can read here.
While trespassers aren’t legally allowed the same duty of care as invitees, it is important to note the law of attractive nuisance. This law indicates that property owners could be held liable for any injuries to a trespassing child that come from a hazardous object, such as a swimming pool. The law requires that property owners take measures to prevent children from accessing the hazards by putting up a gate, barrier, lock, etc.
