Common Causes of Pool Accidents
Pool accidents are especially dangerous if you have children running around. One of the ways you can keep your toddlers and smaller children safe is to install a pool guard. Another risk to children is the cleaning filters, which use suction power to clean the pool. These have been known to cause injuries to both children and adults. That is why it is always recommended to make sure you are taking all the necessary precautions to keep your pool day safe and prevent an injury from happening.
Other safety measure tips:
- Do not dive into a shallow pool or a pool that is above ground
- Always supervise children
- Advise less experienced swimmers to stay close to the edge or near an experienced swimmer
- Avoid swimming after drinking alcohol
- Do not swim during a storm, especially if there is lightning
You may be wondering if whether or not you have a cause against the pool’s owner, and if you can recover compensation. This will more than likely depend on the circumstances regarding the incident. You may be able to make a claim against the homeowner’s insurance policy for injuries suffered.
