Swimming Pool Injury
Definition:
Swimming pools are popular for synchronized swimming, playing water polo, diving and exercising. Swimming pool injuries resulting in death are the second leading cause of injury-related death, following vehicle-related accidents. Swimming pool injuries may occur for a number of reasons, including:
- Improperly designed pools
- Failure to secure a pool from small children
- Failure to keep the swimming pool in good condition
- Diving board accidents
- Defective pool drains
- Lack of adult supervision
- Failure to cover whirlpools
- Inadequate lighting
- Shallow water
- Lack of lifeguards on duty
Consequences of Swimming Pool Injury:
Swimming pool injuries are a common occurence in hotels, water parks, residential swimming pools and public swimming pools. Alcohol-related accidents also commonly cause swimming pool injuries. Most swimming pool accidents, however, are contributed to the negligence of property owners. Property owners are responsible for covering unattended pools, set supervision guidelines and take other measures, such as building fences, to ensure a safe swimming area. Swimming pool accidents can result in spinal cord injuries, neurological injuries and even death.What a Lawyer can do for you:
