accidents --that is, with no outside intervention, each accident sequence would eventually end.
Attractive Nuisance Doctrine ✔✔A person is under the duty to prevent injury to children that
may be attracted to something which could cause harm
Business interruption recovery/business continuity ✔✔Allows facility to continue serving its
