ELI5:If you leave a dangerous trap for a robber, how liable would you be?

If you intentionally setup a booby trap, you're liable in civil court.   Yes a robber can sue you for slipping and falling on your property.    It'll get tossed pretty quickly..,unless the judge sees that you put up flamethrowers, paint cans on pulleys,  glass shards, nails on boards, etc etc


Now if you actually knew the robber was going to rob you and you put up a shotgun facing the door when he opened the door, the shotgun fires.   That's still manslaughter.
