All too often, children are hurt at playgrounds, areas we expect to be fun and safe. Similar to dangerous grounds and places of business, injuries resulting from unsafe playgrounds fall under the area of law known as Premises Liability. Playgrounds are required to meet a certain standards to ensure the safety of our children, including a satisfactory level of supervision, equipment quality and condition, and proper fall surfaces.
