How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that plaintiffs injuries were not foreseeable where a mobile home park did not have any specific information about an at-' tacker’s past conduct and the actual risk involved with having him on the property
• noting that “in most cases we have not found an undertaking sufficient to give rise to a duty”
• finding that a land- lord’s failure to follow its rental agreement and community guidelines did not impose a duty to protect its tenants
• finding no evidence of previous fights involving child accused of injuring the plaintiff, another child that lived in the same mobile home park as the accused
• injury is foreseeable so as to give rise to duty of care when defendant knows or reasonably should know that conduct will likely result in harm
• a risk of harm is foreseeable when a reasonably prudent person would take that risk into account given the circumstances
