Attractive Nuisance Injuries in Buffalo
Assistance from a Buffalo Personal Injury Lawyer
Young children are not always capable of recognizing the injury risk a property feature can carry, especially when that feature is normally designed for them in the first place. When this is the case, they can wander on to a property and sustain an injury, especially when unsupervised. If this happens to your child, you may be eligible to receive compensation thanks to New York’s “Attractive Nuisance” Doctrine.
The best way to pursue this financial compensation is by retaining the services of a Buffalo personal injury attorney.

The Attractive Nuisance Doctrine in New York
Because young children often do not have the mental fortitude to recognize the risk that a property feature can carry, they can sometimes be easily injured by them. These features are known as “attractive nuisances,” and the law places the onus on their property owners to either repair them to limit the risk or properly secure them so an unassuming child cannot gain easy access.
Property features that could be considered attractive nuisances include:
- Playground equipment
- Swimming pools
- Abandoned cars
- Refrigerators
- Trampolines
While these are just a few common examples, nearly any property feature that could attract children could be considered a nuisance. Therefore, property owners should always make sure these features are properly secured to limit their risk.
