Swimming Pool Accidents

When many people want to get relief from the Florida heat, they head to the swimming pool. Whether you go to a public or privately-owned pool, it is important to remember that swimming pool accidents can result in serious – or fatal – injuries. Unintentional drowning is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., and near-drowning accidents can leave victims with permanent brain damage. Pool accidents can also involve tripping and falling, which can result in a wide range of traumatic injuries.

Companies or individuals who own pools can beheld liable for accidents and injuries that happen due to the owner’s negligence. Negligent pools owners might:

  • Not have proper barriers and locks around the pool area
  • Fail to provide proper signs and warnings
  • Not maintain the diving board
  • Leave debris and objects on the pool deck
  • Not have drain covers in compliance with the law

Any of the above – and more – can result in pool accidents that can change a victim’s life forever.

If someone is injured in a swimming pool accident, they can file an insurance claim against the pool owner to seek a financial settlement for their medical costs and other losses. If someone tragically dies in a swimming pool accident, close family members might have the right to file a claim for wrongful death.
