Understanding Trespassing and Attractive Nuisance in Tennessee

Trespassers cannot receive a reward for their injuries caused by unsafe conditions of private properties. There exists an exception known as attractive nuisance.

This exception recognizes certain buildings, equipment, structures, materials, or remains can lure trespassers, especially children, onto the property where they can be injured. If your child suffered injury since a neighbor negligently left a blight on his property, and your child was drawn to it, there's a chance for recovery.
