What is the attractive nuisance doctrine, and how can it affect a Washington premises liability case?
September 26, 2024 – Matt Albrecht
The attractive nuisance doctrine pertains to property owners being held liable for injuries to trespassing children if a dangerous condition on the property is enticing and left unguarded.
This doctrine recognizes the heightened duty of care owed to children, who may be curious and unaware of the associated risks.
