Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois
Trampoline Liability
My neighbors just bought a large trampoline for their three children. It is set up in their backyard, but the property is not fenced in. They put tags on the trampoline that state ''No Trespassing'', and ''Play at your own risk''. Will these warnings make them not legally liable should someone trespass and use the trampoline anyway? Are they not legally liable if someone gets hurt and files a lawsuit against them?

Re: Trampoline Liability
Why are you asking regarding your neighbor? Perhaps they should be posting this instead of you.
Bottomline is that a lawsuit could be filed. The warnings would go towards a defense that the neighbor might have toward any claim.
By the way, since you are aware of the warnings, you probably have an increased duty to watch over your own children to make sure that they do not go there.
