RV Campground Injury Attorney

With thousands of campgrounds in California, countless residents and guests flock to the mountains, lakes, and ocean to enjoy the peace and relaxation of a few days or weeks of camping. However, most campgrounds offer more amenities and facilities than you might expect if you have been away from the camping scene for a while. RVers arrive at their campsites ready to enjoy all the comforts of home in their big rig while also enjoying the included features of the RV campground, such as swimming pools, playgrounds, tennis courts, hiking trails, lodge facilities, and more.

When renting a spot in an RV campground, people expect the common areas and amenities to be in good condition and ready for them to enjoy. However, that is not always the case. As RVing has become more popular and sites are more challenging to reserve, RV campground management has been less focused on closing sites or features for repairs and more interested in keeping the property fully booked throughout the year. Sadly, the result is an abundance of safety hazards and concerns at many RV campgrounds across the state.

If you suffered an injury incident at an RV campground, please err on the side of caution and seek a medical evaluation to ensure you get the medical care you need to make a full and fast recovery. Then, reach out to the Normandie Law Firm to determine if you have reason to pursue an RV campground injury lawsuit.

What Is Duty Of Care?
All property owners have a legal obligation to provide a safe space for guests on public or private property. Premises liability law regulated the construction and care standards for these properties, including the need for regular inspections to locate any safety hazards. Duty of care defines the required actions of the property owner or their staff if they discover a safety hazard or one is reported to them by a guest.

It states that the staff must provide at least the same level of care as would be taken by the average prudent person when encountering a similar safety issue. Consider how you would react if you found a damaged handrail at the entrance to your home. You would immediately repair it to ensure no one suffered a fall because the railing could not provide the added support they required. That is what the average person would do and what is required under a duty of care.

If the staff or property owner fails to meet their obligation, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to a guest’s injuries, the property owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. Please contact Normandie Law Firm today if you feel negligence could have been a factor in your RV campground injuries.

How Much Is My RV Campground Injury Lawsuit Worth?
The amount of compensation sought via your RV campground lawsuit will be based on the actual losses and expenses you suffered because of your injuries. There are no predetermined amounts awarded for certain personal injuries. Working with your Normandie Law Firm RV campground injury attorney, you will compile all allowable expenses to be used in this tabulation. The items commonly included are:

• The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the RV campground injury incident
• All current and estimated future medical expenses for treatment and rehabilitation of the injuries suffered at the RV campground
• All legal costs associated with preparing, filing, and litigating your RV campground lawsuit
• Any lost income if the injuries suffered in the RV campground incident prevent the victim from working at their regular job or if they miss work from medical care related to those injuries

How Long Do I Have To File My RV Campground Injury Lawsuit?
If the RV campground where you were hurt is privately owned, you have two years from the date of the injuries to file a claim with the court. However, if the RV campground is owned by the city, state, or federal government, such as a municipal or state park, the time to file your claim is reduced to only six months from the date of the injury incident. In both instances, this time limit is strictly enforced, and there are very minimal expectations to extend the time to file a claim if you miss the original window to file.
