When a child is injured on a trampoline at someone’s house, the homeowner can be held legally responsible for the injury. Homeowners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for visitors, particularly children. If negligence, such as inadequate supervision or unsafe equipment, results in an injury, the homeowner is liable.
In June 2026, a Phoenix high school graduate filed a lawsuit against his classmate’s parents after sustaining serious injuries during a senior skip-day pool party at their Ahwatukee home. The lawsuit alleges that the homeowners were aware of the party, which included underage drinking and unsafe activities, leading to the plaintiff’s injuries. This case underscores the potential liability homeowners face when injuries occur on their property due to negligence. Read more
Under Arizona law, homeowners are obligated to ensure their property is safe for visitors. This includes taking reasonable steps to prevent injuries from known hazards, such as trampolines. Failure to do so can result in liability for any injuries that occur. Additionally, Arizona’s attractive nuisance doctrine holds property owners accountable for injuries to children caused by hazardous conditions that are likely to attract them, like trampolines.
In Arizona, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury (A.R.S. § 12-542). However, when the injured party is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.
If your child has been injured on a trampoline at someone else’s home, it’s important to take the following steps:
1. Seek immediate medical attention for your child.
2. Document the incident, including photographs of the trampoline and the surrounding area.
3. Gather contact information from any witnesses.
4. Consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options.
