Liability for disease

[Jumaduke]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

We have good friends who choose not to vaccinate their children. Are we liable if one of their sons happens to contract something like tetanus from stepping on a rusty nail in our yard? (Not that we have rusty nails lying around, but my husband has an extensive workshop, and we have acres of raw woods that could have 30-year-old discarded cans or old rotted fencing that we don't know about.) Thanks in advance.

Not any more then you would be if they WERE vaccinated.

Have you reported these child abusers to the proper authorities?
