Most parents know the dangers of having small children around water. It takes less than 5 minutes and under 2 inches of water for a child to drown. Hundreds of adults also suffer injury or death each year due to accidents in private or public swimming pools.
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.
Owners of private pools have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for children and adults alike and need to focus on accident prevention. Public pools such as community pools and hotel/motel pools are also subject to the same guidelines. If you have been injured in a swimming pool accident, you may have a case against the owner.
