Florida Swimming Pool Accidents and Injury

Florida has over one million pools, providing our state’s residents and visitors with a blissful escape from warm summer days. Unfortunately, because we have so many pools, we also have more drownings of child under five than any other state in the nation. If you or a loved one was harmed or killed in a swimming pool accident, whether a drowning, a slip and fall accident, an electrocution accident or other type of problem, please speak with a skilled Florida personal injury attorney from Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath.

It takes a top Florida personal injury lawyer to identify the party responsible in these cases and to gather enough evidence to bring them to trial. We have taken on landlords, home owners associations, hotels, construction companies, caregivers, lifeguards, babysitters and more in our handling of swimming pool accidents.

Any pools built after 2000 are required to have a 4’ or taller barrier surrounding the pool, an approved cover, locking devices on gates or doors, self-closing entrances and alarms on every window and door with direct access to the pool. Because so many pools were built after the real estate boom following this law’s enactment, 1 out of 4 Florida pools is required to comply with these rules. If the pool you or your loved one was injured at was built after 2000 and did not have these safety precautions, contact a Florida personal injury lawyer because you certainly have a case.

At our firm, we have filed an injury lawsuit in West Palm Beach, FL for just about every type of injury possible in a pool setting. We have helped families deal with the death of drowned loved ones. Helped near-drowning survivors cope with the permanent brain damage caused by lack of oxygen to their brain. We have worked with spinal injury victims who were harmed by diving boards installed in pools too shallow for diving. We have helped parents file lawsuits after their child was injured by a faulty pool drain. We even helped a victim of an electrical accident after cords were placed too near the swimming pool.

If you or a loved one was injured in a pool accident, please contact a Florida personal injury attorney from our firm today.
