Just about every midsized suburban home has a pool, and this can be a great way of spending a sunny weekend with friends and loved ones, soaking in the rays and the vibes. While pools and swimming promise hours of endless fun, they can also become scenes of catastrophic accidents as well as fatalities. Diving into a pool can provide creative ways of refreshing oneself while showing off one’s chops and prowess. However, a dive into an unmarked or poorly maintained pool can lead to serious, life-altering injuries such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, which require urgent medical attention and may attract a dismal prognosis.

If you have been injured in a pool, you may be wondering what the law has to say regarding liability, especially if you know you did nothing wrong and that someone else’s negligence may have played a primary role in your accident. The legal landscape around pool injuries is varied, and different laws may apply depending on the situation. For example, laws differ depending on whether the pool is a private, residential, or public swimming facility. That said, the legal concept of duty of care implores property owners and even the city council to ensure that anyone who accesses their properties for the purpose of enjoying a swimming session is kept safe and informed about any hazards or risks so they can take the appropriate steps to protect themselves. Failure to do so ensures one may file a premises liability pool injury lawsuit under the personal injury umbrella. Given the complexity of these cases and the possibility of there being more than one at-fault party, it is important that you retain legal counsel for immediate assistance, and we’re here to help with that.

Pool Injury Statistics Paint a Worrying Trend

Diving into pools is an inherently risky affair, particularly if done in shallow water. Diving headfirst into a pool can lead to collisions with the bottom of the pool, resulting in injuries such as fractures, concussions, and even spinal cord injuries. In fact, the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center is on record saying that diving accidents make up a considerable amount of the spinal cord injuries in the country. This information shows just how risky diving can be, and the need for enhanced awareness as well as precautionary efforts.

Who’s To Blame for Your Pool Accident Injuries?

Should a pool accident and consequent injury occur, the following individuals or entities may be held liable:

Pool Owners

Individuals who own facilities that feature pools and homeowners who own pools are legally responsible for ensuring that their pools are safe by carrying out certain activities such as pool maintenance, adherence to safety regulations, and the installation of safety signage. These individuals also must make sure that all pool guests follow rules and regulations for the safety of all attendants. Failure to take these precautions may make it possible to be held liable should an accident occur.

Manufacturers

Manufacturers may also be held liable if the products installed in the pool are found to be defective. For example, if a diving board is found to be constructed with substandard material, or the pool railings did not pass quality checks leading to people falling into the pool, manufacturers may have a case to answer with regard to these injuries.

All personal injury lawsuits follow a predictable path – in order to have a valid claim, the plaintiff, through his or her attorneys, must prove that they were owed a duty of care, this duty of care was breached via a negligent act, leading them to suffer injuries which can be compensable under provable damages. These cases are often complicated by virtue of the fact that there are often multiple liable parties and multiple insurance policies and companies involved. That said, one can recover compensation for things like lost wages, pain and suffering, the cost of medical care both present and in the future, loss of enjoyment of life, and so much more.
