What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I live at my residence in New Jersey. I was thinking about purchasing a new in-ground pool for my backyard. I understand all the laws about putting up a security fence that locks (Law states CLEARLY that it is for children), but I was still confused a little bit about my state laws.
Putting up a security fence will be no problem, but I've heard from a few people that if someone capable, Trespasses and strays into the pool area and gets injured I can still be held accountable.
Is this true?? If I am required by law to put up a locked security fence, and even post 'No Trespassing' signs, could I still be held responsible for a unwanted and uninvited teenager or adult if he/she is injured or even fatally wounded on my property???
