Atlanta Attractive Nuisance Lawyer

Children cannot identify and appreciate dangers, and are generally more impulsive than adults when they see something they like. Whereas we expect an adult to put his or her own health and safety first, we recognize that a child is not mature enough to do so. These are the concepts behind the tort doctrine of attractive nuisance. The attractive nuisance doctrine applies to landowners who have dangerous conditions on their property that are likely attract children, but fail to take steps to keep children out of harm’s way. Under the doctrine, landlords may be held liable for a child’s injuries, regardless of the child’s right to be on the property.

Gumprecht Law Firm represents children who are injured on unsafe property. The landowner may try to blame your child for trespassing or claim that you failed to properly supervise your child. These are not valid defenses to an attractive nuisance cause of action. The property owner also might attempt to repair the condition – in essence, destroying important evidence – before we have an opportunity to investigate. For this reason, you should contact an attractive nuisance lawyer immediately after the accident.
