Types Of Accidents That Happen Around Water

Accidents around swimming pools can occur in many forms, often with devastating consequences. According to recent data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an average of 358 pool or spa-related fatal drownings occurred annually from 2019 to 2021, with 75% of victims under the age of 5. Common types of swimming pool-related accidents include:

• Slip and falls: Wet surfaces around the pool can lead to serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma or spinal cord damage.
• Drowning: Tragically, drowning remains a leading cause of accidental death, particularly among children. African American children aged 5 to 14 accounted for 45% of drowning fatalities in cases where race was identified, reflecting a concerning disparity.
• Chemical burns: Improper pool maintenance can result in chemical imbalances, leading to skin burns or respiratory issues.

These incidents often result from negligence, such as inadequate supervision, improper maintenance or insufficient safety measures.

Why Hiring A Lawyer Is Important

Hiring an experienced premises liability attorney is crucial in swimming pool accident cases. They help manage the emotional challenges of pursuing a lawsuit, especially when the victim knows the property owner personally. Additionally, proving negligence on private property requires the knowledge and resources to gather evidence and build a strong case.
