01 / The case

The loss at the center of the case

A child drowned in a drainage pond on private property. The child’s estate and family pursued a claim arising from that death.

02 / The case

The condition of the property

The claim alleged that a construction company created the pond and failed to fill it properly or warn of the danger. The case concerned responsibility for that condition, not simply the fact that the drowning occurred.
