Seven Premises Liability Issues That Appear in Summer

Seven Premises Liability Issues That Appear in Summer

As the summer approaches, it is important to keep safety in mind so you can enjoy the season to the fullest. That is why you should be careful of these seven premises liability issues that you may encounter this summer:


  • Swimming pool accidents
      • Swimming pools are a lot of fun, but they are also quite dangerous. You should make sure your pool is fenced off, and ensure no one swims unless there is a lifeguard ready to respond to a potential emergency.
  • Heat exhaustion
      • As the weather gets warmer, it is essential to stay cool and stay hydrated. In enclosed areas, make sure there is appropriate ventilation, and outdoors, make sure to periodically get out of the sun to cool down to avoid heat exhaustion.
  • Burn injuries
      • Campfires, barbecues, and cooking fires are intrinsic to the summertime experience, but they are also an excellent source of premises liability accidents. If you are not careful with fires, it is easy for someone to get burned.
  • Electrocution
      • More than ever, people are reliant on electronics to help get through the day. However, when mishandled, electrical devices can cause electrocutions, especially when people overload power outlets.
  • Child injuries
      • Children should be allowed to have fun during the summer, but they are also vulnerable to premises liability accidents. That is why they should always be monitored by an adult, to keep them away from danger and respond quickly if they get hurt.
  • Animal bites
      • Dogs and other animals can potentially bite people when they are poorly trained or left to wander without a leash. When this happens, it can result in potentially serious injuries.
  • Amusement park injuries
    • Amusement parks are good places to go on rides, eat tasty food, and spend time with friends or family. However, when they are run negligently, people can be injured by defective rides or hazardous conditions.
