Bay Area Swimming Pool Accident Attorney
Providing Clients with Dedicated Representation
Swimming is an extremely popular recreational activity in California; however, they are also potentially dangerous facilities that must be carefully maintained and overseen by their owners.
Thousands of drowning or submersion deaths occur each year in the U.S. This rate is particularly high for young children. About 350 children under the age of 5 drown in pools each year. Drowning is the second leading cause of death for this age group after car accidents. Another 2,600 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year for near-drowning incidents, many of whom suffer permanent neurological disability.

Injuries at Swimming Pools
According to many accident statistics, the vast majority of injuries occur in backyard residential swimming pools. There is an obvious and serious danger of leaving small children and others unsupervised at a pool. Because of this, California law requires that private swimming pools maintain secure fences to deter unauthorized visitors and trespassers from entering.
The combination of water and hard surfaces at swimming pools create a unique situation where injuries are usually very serious, and sometimes even fatal. Negligent behavior around pools often leads to serious consequences. Inattentive and reckless behavior contribute to many swimming pool accidents where children were played without adequate supervision.
In some cases, a person neglected their duties under the law to take reasonable care on their property. This is a common issue in many drowning and near-drowning cases. Proving this negligence is often difficult, and sometimes impossible, without a careful investigation of the situation and a thorough review of California law. However, it may be necessary for your injury claim.
