Landlord's Liability for a Child's Injuries

Children have a right to expect that there home is a safe place to live, regardless of whether their parents 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, a landlord may be held liable for the injuries of a child tenant as a result of the landlord's negligence.  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. 

Additionally, in actions seeking to hold landlords liable for the personal injuries of children resulting from defects in the premises, 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.  However, an experienced West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise a plaintiff that there is no issue of comparative negligence where a very young child suffers an injury.
