Drowning Accidents. Cleveland Drowning Accident Attorneys

Swimming pool accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injury from diving in shallow waters, or accidents involving near-drowning causing permanent brain damage. Sadly, death from drowning in swimming pool accidents is all too common, particularly in the warmer months when children go swimming on summer vacation.

Has your loved one been injured or killed in a swimming pool accident? Contact our Cleveland drowning accident lawyers for legal assistance as you seek justice and compensation.

Although many incidences of drowning are tragic accidents, many others, especially those involving children, can be prevented with proper foresight. Preventable drowning accidents are usually the result of reckless or negligent actions. For example, operators of businesses such as hotels, heads of schools, and private homeowners must all take measures to provide security and supervision for the sake of children and others who are at-risk of injuries or drowning while swimming.

Some examples of actions causing drowning accidents include:

• Lack of a trained lifeguard at a public pool or beach
• No warning signs, such as “no running” or “no diving”
• Negligent supervision by lifeguard
• Inattentive swimming teachers
• General failure to provide a safe environment
• Defective products, such as ineffective pool drains
• At a private home, no fence securing the pool

If your loved one has been injured in a swimming pool due to negligence, you may be eligible to file for a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
