Swimming pools pose a serious risk to children, so numerous regulations are related to gates, locks, fencing, warning signs, circulation intake grates, and diving boards.
If your child was severely injured or died in a tragic swimming pool incident, it may have been caused by a code violation. If so, you should file a claim against the code violator to ensure compliance and prevent future injuries or deaths. The careless exposure of children to significant risk should not be tolerated by anyone.
While life may never fully return to normal, it is possible to get compensation for your child’s injuries and medical care, if needed, which can help you both move forward with your lives. At the Traut Firm, we can help you receive compensation for any pool-related injuries such as drowning, brain injury, and fractures caused by:
Injuries to the spinal cord are an all too common occurrence when swimming pools are unsafe. Children who dive into pools that are not deep enough to support diving boards can end up injuring their necks or heads.
Children can quickly drown if not properly supervised while swimming. Over three-quarters of drowning incidents involve people who go missing for under five minutes. Even if the incident is not fatal, it can result in memory lapses, long-lasting disabilities, damaged motor skills, and learning problems.
Some chemicals, such as chlorine, are vital to maintaining the swimming pool water. However, if too many of these chemicals are added, it can cause severe burns in children.
It isn’t just drowning that causes accidents. Most pools are surrounded by hard, slick ground, which can create a dangerous environment where various injuries could arise. The majority of children who hurt themselves by slipping over by the pool do so because of surplus water around the poolside area. Pool owners are supposed to have concrete paving installed that reduces the chance of people losing their footing.
Property owners who fail to ensure the safety of their swimming pools are legally obliged to pay the medical fees of children who suffer injuries on their premises. The Traut Firm legal team can help you to recover this money from the culpable person.
