Keeping Pools Safe

The owners of swimming pools are responsible for keeping their pools safe. This includes installing adequate fencing or other barriers to keep children a safe distance from the water and properly maintaining the pool and related property, including driving boards, slides, drain covers, heaters and pool chemicals. Pool owners must also post signs indicating the water's depth.

Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents

The combination of water, hard surfaces, chemicals and electricity can make swimming pools extremely dangerous. A slip on a cement pool deck can result in a traumatic brain injury. Touching an electric appliance while wet can cause electrocution. And there is always the danger of a drowning accident.

If you were injured because a pool owner failed to keep a swimming pool safe, you have a legal right to pursue financial compensation for the full extent of your damages, including pain and suffering, medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages and more.
