How Negligence Can Lead to a Drowning Accident

Most swimming and pool accidents are preventable and can be traced back to negligence.

The most common negligent causes of drowning and near-drowning include:

  • Faulty or inadequate pool fence/gate latches or enclosures
  • Failure to supervise children near water
  • Failure to call 911 to help a drowning victim
  • Failure to check for poor weather conditions, such as for boating activities
  • Chartering out a boat or other watercraft in poor maintenance
  • Lack of safety equipment on a watercraft
  • Lack of supervision by a lifeguard, such as at the beach or pool
  • Inadequately trained lifeguards, supervisors, etc.
  • Improperly maintained swimming and scuba diving equipment

There are many different parties that may be held accountable for a drowning or near-drowning accident, including a charter company, hotel, resort, apartment or condo association, and landlord. Since we practice in a wide range of personal injury areas, our trial lawyers can handle all types of premises liability claims.
