How We Can Help Defend Your Rights
Swimming pool accidents often occur because the owner or operator failed to exercise ordinary care. For example, they may have:
- Failed to provide safety equipment
- Failed to take measures to provide a safe swimming environment
- Failure to post warnings about dangerous conditions
- Improperly trained staff
To receive compensation from swimming pool accidents, you must prove that:
- The property owner had a legal duty to you
- The property owner or operator knew, or should have known, there was a dangerous condition
- The property owner or operator had an opportunity to repair or remedy the dangerous condition.
- The property owner’s failure to take appropriate action was a direct cause of the pool accident
Possible compensation includes:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost future earnings, pain and suffering
- Loss of quality of life
- Other damages
