"The hotel that got sued because a 4 year old ran through a plate glass window probably settled because a viable argument could be made that in places of public accomodation such as Inns which "invite the public" for profit its foreseeable that their will be small children. Where there is small children there is running. Where there are children running there should be safety glass, which is readily available and inexpensive, on plate glass doors and windows etc.. to keep children and others from walking or running through them and getting killed. There should also be markings on such doors so that you see the glass."


My file notes almost to the "T".....yes I made the decision to settle and the insured was not happy and could not understand. They have since then put up stickers and chairs along the windows. My field adjuster said they even had a hard time being able to tell where the windows were. Like the time when we walk through our arcadia doors right after the wife cleaned them and did not tell us.
