Alligator Law

The estate of an 83 year old Georgia woman had sued a home owner association and country club subsequent to the woman dying from an alligator attack. 

The premise of the law suit was that the home owner association and country club should have had Alligator warnings near each of the 150 or so lagoons on the property. There were warnings in various documents but the woman wasn't a resident and was house sitting for her daughter).

The supreme court of GA ruled that the woman should have known alligators like to be near lagoons in and around Savannah, GA.
