What is the attractive nuisance doctrine, and what is the rationale for having it?

What will be an ideal response?


The attractive nuisance doctrine is a special tort rule that imposes liability on a landowner to children who have trespassed onto his or her property with the intent to play on an attractive nuisance and are subsequently killed or injured while doing so. The rationale for this doctrine is that children, due to their youth, do not understand the potential risk associated with the hazard. To find the landowner liable to the child, the attraction must pose an unreasonable risk of death or serious bodily harm.
