No Comparative Negligence Exists if a Child is Injured Due to a Landlord's Liability

Children have a right to expect that there home is a safe place to live, regardless of whether they own it or lease it. Landlords have a responsibility and duty to ensure the premises is safe for all of their tenants, regardless of their age. Therefore, if your child is injured in a rental property, a landlord may be held liable for the injuries of a child tenant as a result of the landlord's negligence, and you need an experienced West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer specializing in premises liability on your side.

Although landlords have often contended that notwithstanding their own fault, the parent tenant's negligence with respect to the supervision of their children precluded the landlords from being held liable when child is injured in a rental property, there is no issue of comparative negligence where a very young child suffers an injury. For example, if a child is severely burned in a bathtub the landlord may be held liable for negligence for the damages occurring as a result of the child's injuries regardless of a defendant's attempt to hold the parent comparatively negligent. A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise the parent of such a child that he or she may be entitled to damages for medical expenses for treatment of the injuries and other compensatory damages related to the child's injuries.

If your child is injured due to the negligence of a landlord you need an experienced West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer to fight for your child's rights.
