Elliott v. Nagy

In this appeal, appellant urges this court to reconsider its long-standing rejection of the attractive nuisance doctrine and to now adopt that doctrine in Ohio. Given the facts and circumstances of the instant case, we are not inclined to do so.

It is undisputed in the instant case that this little girl was not invited upon appellees’ property and that her presence in their backyard was unknown to appellees. Ordinarily, a landowner owes no duty to undiscovered trespassers other than to refrain from injuring such trespassers by willful or wanton conduct. See Prosser & Keeton, Torts (5 Ed. 1984)…
