An attractive nuisance is an object, building, swimming pool, or other area that attracts children to play but is not safe for them. It is an area that is not properly fenced or that has no warning signs. If your child was injured because of an attractive nuisance, you may be entitled to compensation. According to California’s statute of limitations, a victim has only two years to file his or her attractive nuisance injury case. Unfortunately, many California residents never realize that they were entitled to some type of compensation.

Attractive nuisance injuries can be serious, debilitating, and even deadly. Children can fall from heights, be hurt by unsecured machinery, be tangled in wire or building materials, step on rusty nails, and even drown. Medical expenses can be extremely high. That’s why most legal experts advise that you take action now. The compensation you may receive can be upwards of $100,000 or more, depending on your child’s injury.

Attractive Nuisance injuries affect thousands of California children every year. Children slip and fall, break bones, choke, are poisoned, and drown. Unfortunately, these injuries could be prevented if property owners secure machinery, cover swimming pools, lock up all equipment, and place signs warning children away from dangerous areas. But unfortunately, attractive nuisance injuries happen on a daily basis.

Attractive nuisance injuries can occur in construction zones, swimming areas, farms and ranches, and even schools and playgrounds. The reason they are called “attractive nuisances” is because children are attracted to the area. However, the injuries they suffer may be much more serious than a “nuisance.” Injuries can be life-threatening. It is the responsibility of property owners to recognize areas that may pose hazards to children and secure those areas with fencing, covers, and signs; anything that keeps children safe.
