What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hey all!! Liability question.
We have a basketball hoop over our garage door that we seldom use, in fact haven't used in probably 10 years or more. Our neighborhood demographics have changed and we now have many young children around. I recently caught several of them playing in our driveway trying to make baskets.
Yes, I became THAT neighbor..."get off my lawn!"....it's quite noisy in the house when this is happening. Now, as we have a pool our homeowners liability is quite high, but I am curious about children playing on your property without permission. Is a hoop considered an attractive nuisance? The obvious is to remove the hoop, which we are considering, but we do love the look of the home with it. Are we liable for injuries that might occur while they are playing here uninvited?
Thank you, oh wise ones!
