Each year in the U.S., thousands of people are injured or killed in swimming pool accidents. A particularly alarming fact is that among children under 14 years of age, drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death (motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause). Swimming pool near-drownings also result in thousands of cases of permanent disability among children and adults every year.
Swimming pool drowning accidents can be attributed to a number of causes - with the most significant factor being negligence. Careless supervision, improper pool covers, negligent elder care are all scenarios which could cause the drowning death of a loved one which might be determined to be an accidental death. Additionally, many swimming pool injuries occur because of improperly designed and constructed pools, failure to properly secure a pool from small children, and failure to maintain the swimming pool in good condition.
You may be able to file a premises liability claim against a negligent pool owner for not complying with certain regulations. Premises liability law covers most swimming pool accidents. Whether the pool is part of an individual homeowner's property or at a setting such as a school, park, neighborhood pool area, hotel, or resort, the property owner has a legal duty to maintain safety and health standards at the pool. When these standards are not met, the pool owner and/or manager may be held liable for an injury or fatality that occurred in or around the pool.
You may be able to file a Product Liability claim against a manufacturer or designer of a pool or spa for any substandard part used in its' manufacture. For example: The National Pool & Spa Institute (the association to which most pool manufacturers and designers belong) has been found responsible for incorrect pool design resulting in many catastrophic pool related injuries. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled a faulty spa drain cover that is responsible for "body entrapment" resulting in serious injury and death.
