Property Owner's Liability (Slip & Fall) | InjuryBoard Oakland

After the recent drowning of a 4-year-old boy, Great America is now requiring all children under 4 feet tall wear life vests in its pools. The mother of the boy was not in the pool at the time of the drowning and blames lifeguards for not spotting her son until it was too late.

Residents of a Northern Illinois subdivision are having some problems with a rottweiler running loose in the neighborhood, and several people attended a recent board meeting to voice their concerns.
