California Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer

Swimming Pool Accidents

Six people drown in U.S. swimming pools every day, according to the Center for Disease Control. Many of these pools are public facilities staffed with certified professional lifeguards.

Swimming pool safety is a major issue, particularly for young people. Among children ages 1 to 4 years, most drownings occur in residential swimming pools.

The Orange County Fire Authority reports that, in California, accidental drowning surpasses all other causes of death to children age 14 and under.

If you have been injured in a swimming pool accident or if a loved one drowned in a swimming pool, you may be able to recover financial compensation for the losses you have suffered. Please contact an attorney at The Reeves Law Group in California, for effective legal representation in swimming pool accident cases.

Experienced Legal Help

Whether your accident occurred in a backyard pool, a community pool, or a hotel or apartment pool, we know how to help. Our attorneys have been providing legal representation to accident victims for more than 20 years. We have the knowledge, legal skill, and resources to help maximize the insurance recovery for your losses.

A swimming pool accident can occur for many reasons, including:

• Improper design and construction
• Failure to secure the pool from children
• Failure to maintain the pool
• Electrocution
• Diving accidents
• Lack of supervision
• No lifeguard
• Spa / hot tub accidents
• Chemical exposure

There are an endless number of ways to become injured in or around a swimming pool. Not all of them involve drowning. Diving into shallow water can cause a spinal cord injury that results in paralysis. Falls onto a pool's deck can cause traumatic brain injury. A near-drowning episode can cause hypoxia — lack of oxygen to the brain — and permanent brain damage. Pool chemicals can be deadly if handled improperly.

Legally a pool accident case may involve product liability, premises liability, general negligence law, or a combination of all three. Our attorneys will listen carefully to your description of events, ask the right questions, and develop a legal strategy aimed at recovering the maximum amount of financial compensation possible.

We will conduct an investigation to determine if there were adequate warnings posted by the pool. Was the pool fenced? Was a lifeguard on duty? Were hazardous chemicals properly stored and labeled?

We will dig deep, get all the facts, and present a compelling case to the insurance company or, when necessary, to a judge and jury. You can rely on the attorneys of The Reeves Law Group to help you obtain the full amount of compensation you deserve. Please contact us today at (800) 644-8000 to discuss your case.
