The attractive nuisance doctrine imposes a higher duty of care on property owners to safeguard against foreseeable risks that may attract children onto their property. Owners must take reasonable steps to secure dangerous conditions or warn of their presence.
For example: If a homeowner has a swimming pool without a fence, and a child wanders onto the property and drowns, the homeowner could be liable under the attractive nuisance doctrine because pools are known to attract children and pose a significant risk if unsecured.
