Am I eligible for compensation following a pool accident?
Swimming pool accidents happen in and around pools each summer, especially on holidays such as Labor Day. It can be easy to forget the importance of pool safety and how pool accidents can lead to serious injury or even death. If you believe you were injured in a pool accident due to the negligence of the pool owner, you may have a valid premise liability claim.
To achieve financial compensation for your damages, you will need to retain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney who will work to prove that negligence caused your damages in a premises liability claim. They will have to work to prove that the accident was a direct result of the pool owner’s failure to ensure the lawful standard of care and safety. This will be backed by evidence your attorney will gather including photos of the scene of your accident, medical documentation of your injuries, and witnesses to the incident.
