Situations, where injury can occur can also affect adults, even when trying to be careful and safe. These accidents usually arise due to the reckless, negligent, or poor decision-making of another person. Over the years, we have seen various and unique incidents, including:
– Injury due to poorly maintained facilities. This is typically a premise liability case where you have paid to camp on maintained grounds and faulty equipment breaks that cause injury to you or your family.
– Failure to warn campers of safety concerns. These unfortunate situations arise when property owners do not adequately warn campers of fallen trees on trails, a broken picnic table, or areas where it is dangerous to walk or sleep.
– The direct fault of another person. Our minds may run in circles trying to imagine all the ways we can get injured while camping, and it was the fault of someone else. Common examples include people not leashing their dogs and that animal attacking you. Another risk hazard occurs when someone is cooking food and burns you by spilling hot food or liquid on you or scolds you with a hot frying pan.
