As much fun as swimming pools can be, they are not without their dangers, and all too often, people underestimate just how much of a safety threat pools can pose, leading to tragedy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
The CDC lists the following as the leading causes of swimming pool injury and drowning:
Whether the incident occurs in a swimming pool at a private club, public pool or swimming pool at a friend’s house, people have rights and options if they are injured or a family member drowns due to another’s negligence. After seeking immediate medical attention, talking to a personal injury lawyer should be priority number one for victims and families. This is due to the fact that in the wake of a swimming pool accident, the longer victims and families wait to act, the greater the chances that evidence that could help them hold those at fault accountable could be lost or even destroyed by the wrongdoer.
Following a swimming pool accident, there are several factors to consider, such as:
Bottom line, if you or someone you love suffered a swimming pool injury or a family member was killed in a swimming pool accident, you should speak to a premises liability attorney as soon as possible. An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to determine whether you may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit. In addition, if you do have a claim, an attorney can guide you through the process of bringing those responsible for your serious injuries as well as pain and suffering to justice.

“Mr. Glotzer represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I was badly injured,but the insurance company refused to offer me a reasonable settlement. I decided to find an attorney and decided to hire Josh.
His law firm did a great job on my case. They were very responsive to all my questions and obtained a great resolution for me. I received way more money than was originally offered. I would recommend their firm to friends and family.”
“Mr. Josh Glotzer is a great attorney. Over the last 15 years he has helped me on a number of cases with professionalism, and more importantly a positive outcome in my favor. I have referred him to a number of friends and colleagues, all of which have been equally as happy with his legal representation. I trust him and confident in legal ability. I highly recommend his law firm.”
“Don’t try to deal with insurance companies on your own. They strung me along for almost two years before I gave the case to Glotzer & Leib. Josh and his team quickly obtained a settlement that netted me many times what the insurance company was offering. Thank You!”
“My wife was in a car accident last year and Josh did an amazing job representing her. It’s very refreshing to see someone in his profession that actually cares and puts his clients first. He’s the best in the business and I feel so fortunate that I was referred to him. Keep up the great work and thanks for everything you did for my family!”
“I was in a rear end car accident last year and hired Mr. Glotzer’s office. It wasn’t a big case but their office helped me with my property damage claim and did a good job resolving the injury portion of the case as well.”
