Hello, my name is Susan Farris and my hobby is learning about the law. I have an uncle who is an attorney and I've always looked up to him and that's why I find subjects on law very interesting. Through speaking with my uncle and doing research on my own, I've learned about all the different fields of law. Each field of law centers on its own subject and most attorneys specialize in a certain area of law. These include criminal, personal injury, family, bankruptcy, criminal, immigration and business. I find each one of these fields very interesting and I have the utmost admiration for lawyers because they help people through their legal struggles. I wanted to share this information with others who have questions about the different types of attorneys and the law.
Even though camping should be an experience that allows you some time to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, there are also specific dangers that can come along with spending time at a campground. Public campgrounds offer a service to people who want to spend some time in nature, but the owners of these campgrounds have a legal responsibility to keep you safe within reason. Take a look at just a few of the situations in which you may have a case for a personal injury lawsuit if you get hurt on a public campground.
You sustain an injury inside the public facilities at the campground.
Most modern campgrounds do have bathrooms, and some may offer things like showers or laundry rooms. If at any time you get injured inside one of the on-site campground facilities, the owner of the campground is legally liable for what happened. For example, you may need to talk to a personal injury attorney if:
You are injured due to a lack of warning signs posted on the property.
When a campground owner invites customers on their property, they are responsible for posting warnings about any risks that may be present or notifying campers in some way about dangerous places or situations. For instance, if there are hiking trails on the property that contain sudden and steep drop-offs along a narrow path, this is something that should be posted as a warning. If there is no warning and you unexpectedly drop off the edge of a bluff and get hurt, you may have a legal right to sue.
You get injured by a grill at your campsite because it is ill-maintained.
It is common for campgrounds to make grills available at campsites for campers to use, which is nice. However, by providing grills, the campground is taking direct responsibility for maintaining that equipment. Therefore, if you are using a campsite grill and get hurt, you may have reason to file a lawsuit. For example, if the provided grill is propane, and it explodes while you try to light it, and you sustain burn injuries, this could be a reason to talk to a personal injury lawyer.
