The person who was hurt will undoubtedly be able to find a lawyer willing to argue that you are liable. And that the renter is liable. And that the descendents of the person who originally sold you the house are liable, as are their mechanics, hairdressers, and employers. The point is this: you should immediately consult an attorney to find out how defensible your position is; the plaintiff can and probably will sue anybody who might even conceivably be remotely involved, and an attorney can advise you whether it would be better to fight or settle.
You liable if someone gets hurt on your property no matter what.
you are liable and on your homewoners insurance has medical pay and liability.
Medical insurance covers accidental injury. It does not matter where your child gets hurt. Simply being the owner of a property does not automatically make one liable for everything that occurs on the property. If you feel the property owner was the cause or somehow responsible or otherwise liable for your child's injury you could file a suit against the property owner.
You can be sued for injuring someone, even unintentionally (as when someone gets hurt on your property). Then you are liable for damages. Liability insurance pays the damages if you lose a lawsuit.
Perhaps, and perhaps not. It just depends on the circumstances that led to the person being injured. Contrary to popular belief, We are not automatically liable for everything that occurs on our property. Just contact your insurance agent and explain what happened, He will likely be able to tell you if your liable or not.
If you knowingly and purposely rigged something to hurt or injure someone, yes, you could be criminally charged.
Not necessarily, It just depends on how and why they were injured. A property owner is not automatically liable simply through property ownership. There would have to be some course of events that lead to your being responsible and therefore liable. Child or adult has little or no bearing at all on your liability except in some circumstances of whats called an attractive hazard such as unsecured pools, trampolines and playground equipment on your premises. You could be liable if a person was injured due to the property owners direct action or through inaction. You are not liable simply because you own the property. For you to be liable you would have to either inflict the injury yourself or have caused the injury by some action you took that created the condition which led to the injury or some in-action on your part as in a failure to mitigate a hazardous condition by the means that any other reasonable and prudent person would have taken.
Maybe. It depends on how and why they were injured. You invited them on your property, so you owe them a high duty of care. If they were injured due to a faulty step or a hole in the ground that you should have repaired, you'd be liable. However, if they were injured due to their own negligence, you wouldn't be. For example, if I brought my own chain saw and my own beer onto your property and managed to cut myself while drunk, you probably wouldn't be liable.
Actually, yes. It is your property and if they get hurt you could get sued... ...That is unless you have a signed liability/injury waiver from their parents.
The property owner is responsible for injuries on their own property.
Yes, any injury sustained on your property are your legal responsibility.
Yes, if you carry liability insurance on your homeowners policy and you are found liable for an injury to another while on it your insurance company would respond to a notice of loss.
