Liability for Neighborhood Activities: Your Questions Answered

Questioner

As a neighborhood association, we organize a number of activities each year, 2 of which are for outsiders. For example, the Annual Flea Market. This is accessible to everyone (outside the neighborhood) and is organized on private property. A permit has been requested from the municipality. No liability insurance has been taken out for this day. Who is liable in the event of injury or damage?

Lawyer

The applicant for the permit is responsible for safety and is liable for any liability.
