[WSBARP] Property Owner's Liability for People using Public easement to access beach

[Jeff Davis]

Listmates:

 

Client is looking at buying a vacant lot on which to build a house over
looking the Strait.  The property is subject to a an easement creating a
pathway for public use  to access the beach.  As the path winds down towards
the beach it becomes very steep.  Presently there is only a rope to help
people descend  to the beach.  What is a property owner's liability if
people are injured using the path?  Is he protected if he puts a warning
sign at the front of the path?
