Trampoline Liability

If a person gets hurt on my trampoline while on it without my permission I am liable? For example if a neighbor child decides to go in my backyard when I am not home and jump on the trampoline and gets injured am I responsible?

Depends. Your homeowner's insurance should pick it up, but I can assure you that Plaintiff's lawyer will no doubt look at the precautions you took to keep kids off. It is, after all, a very attractive item to a kid. Liability here is a "probable." Not a certainty, but more than likely, you'd best be contacting your insurance company.
