Unfortunately, many people especially young children, are injured in pool-related accidents every year. Most swimming pool injuries occur because of improperly designed and constructed pools, failure to properly secure a pool from small children and failure to maintain the swimming pool in good condition. When people get hurt in pool accidents, or get sick from contaminated pool water, the owner may be liable for injuries because he or she was careless or negligent. Homeowners are required to have a fence around their in-ground pool. Above-ground pools are not permitted to have a surrounding fence but cannot be easily accessible when not in use. If you have questions regarding liability in swimming pool related accidents, consult us to discuss your specific situation.
