QUESTION
My sister just removed a damaged fence separating her house from a neighbor with a pool. Who is liable if someone drowns in that pool?

More details to this question:
Part of the fence, which is old and damaged, was blown down by Hurricane Irma. So she had the rest removed. She also has informed the neighbor that the fence would be removed if damaged. My concern is: could she be held liable if someone wandered into the neighbor’s pool and drowned?

Depends on a variety of facts, but possibly BOTH parties could be liable.
