Los Angeles Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer

Los Angeles Swimming Pool Accident Attorneys

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):

  • It is estimated that 10 people a day are killed in unintentional drowning incidents in the United States;
  • Of the 10 people who die from unintentional drowning in the US each day, two are, on average, 14 years old or younger;
  • Drowning is one of the top five causes of unintentional injury death in the US.

What Are the Leading Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents?

The CDC lists the following as the leading causes of swimming pool injury and drowning:

  • Lack of fencing or other barriers to prevent children from accessing the pool without the supervision of an adult.
  • Age and location. Swimming pool accidents involving younger children tend to occur in home swimming pools most often.
  • Alcohol use involving swimming pool accident victims and/or those who were supervising them.
  • Health issues, such as seizure disorders.
  • Lack of supervision or failure to provide attentive supervision.
  • Poor swimming ability.
  • Failing to wear a life jacket.

What Happens If I’m Hurt or a Loved One Drowns in Someone Else’s Swimming Pool?

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.

Can Victims Sue After a Swimming Pool Accident?

Following a swimming pool accident, there are several factors to consider, such as:

  • Where the incident took place: water park, community pool, apartment complex or a private residence;
  • Who the victim was: friend, adult, child, customer, resident, guest or family member.
  • What led to the incident: an employee or host’s negligent supervision, a defective gate or life jacket or an improperly designed or maintained facility.
  • If a diving board caused the accident whether it was improperly maintained, defective or placed in a dangerous area of the pool

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.”
