While I'm sure you could get a lawyer to take the case, unless there was some defect in the driveway that made it more hazardous than the typical concrete driveway, I doubt the plaintiff would prevail.

"To be considered an attractive nuisance:

  • A potentially dangerous condition exists on the property
  • The landowner created or maintained the potential danger
  • The landowner should have known the condition would attract children
  • The landowner should have known the condition could harm children."

The parents, in the videos, watching the kid(s) have fun kinda blows it all out the window by itself.
 
That guy's definitely a good neighbor. Good on him!

Used to be a family with a little boy that lived a few houses down from me. I have the only paved driveway on my street, so my driveway became the one to turn around in, and do stunts like slides and doughnuts.

I told him it was ok to play, but to always look for brake lights or back up lights, and to stop and look if he heard a car running.
 
crapping on this parade:

local kids were riding 4-wheelers on my property, and i didn't complain.
they were good about it, and didn't tear things up or leave trash.
my lawyer said i was "setting myself up" for trouble.
she said, "it only takes one" parent/grandparent/guardian
to file a lawsuit seeking damages due to negligence (on my part) or "attractive nuisance",
resulting in accident or injury, since i knew about it, and didn't actively discourage or deny access.

well, i told them they couldn't anymore, and they didn't, but i still don't like the procedure.

Our lawyer told us they filled in their pond, and we should never have a pool because they're attractive nuisances.
When I grew up, rock salt kept troublesome kids away.

But somebody on this forum will find a way to crap on every parade. I am not surprised he did it in this thread too!!!!!!!!

You got a problem with the truth?? Or are you just up to your shoulders in the sand and think it won't happen sooner or later?? Do you encourage kids to play on your property??

You're not worth any more conversation.....
 
Good on that dude, that's awesome!
