Tampa Swimming Pool Accident Attorney

Drowning Accidents Caused by Negligence

When someone drowns or suffers serious injury in a swimming pool due to the careless or reckless behavior of another person, the injury victim or the surviving family may be legally entitled to seek financial compensation for injury or loss. A claim can be made against the responsible party's insurance company. If the claim is unsuccessful, then a formal personal injury lawsuit may be filed.

Our system of laws recognizes that swimming pools are especially dangerous, particularly for children. For this reason, swimming pool owners must comply with numerous laws and rules designed to decrease the danger presented by swimming pools. These rules apply to private homeowners and to commercial establishments like hotels and private clubs.

If a swimming pool accident results in serious injury or death, the swimming pool owner may be fully or partially responsible. In such instances, an injury claim may be filed against the swimming pool owner for compensation.
