In a West Palm Beach Child Injury lawsuit, arising from a child being injured from a fall, a property owner may be liable for failing to exercise reasonable care in removing the danger or protecting the child. For instance, a property owner should use reasonable precautions to prevent a child from being enticed to explore or climb dangerous high areas and be injured. Additionally, in keeping a property in a reasonably safe condition, owners and occupants of the premises are only liable for foreseeable risks, and have no duty to guard against improbable or unforeseeable injuries. For example, a daycare center operator may be held liable for failing to use reasonable precautions to prevent a child from being injured by falling through a plate glass window, which the owner knew was not made of safety glass, and had no protective screen to prevent or protect a child from being seriously injured. However, even if a property owner is held liable for a foreseeable injury to a child such as falling through an ordinary glass window, the evidence may not sustain an award of punitive damages for the plaintiff.
