Responsabilidad y CasualidadPregunta 430 de 531

A contractor leaves an unfenced excavation full of water on a vacant lot and a neighbourhood child drowns. The attractive nuisance doctrine matters here because it:

a.makes the child's parents solely responsible
b.shifts the claim to first-party medical payments
c.raises the care owed to a trespassing child
d.converts the loss into an ultrahazardous activity

Explicación

Attractive nuisance holds an occupier responsible when an artificial condition likely to draw children — a pool, an open pit, discarded machinery — is left unguarded and a child too young to appreciate the danger is hurt, even though that child is technically a trespasser. The doctrine changes the duty owed, so calling the excavation an ultrahazardous activity misstates it. Weak parental supervision may reduce an award but does not extinguish the occupier's duty.
