Los Angeles Pool Drowning Accidents and Orange County Lawyer

Several children in Southern California drown every year. Apart from children dying, many have traumatic brain injury from drowning. If you live in Los Angeles County, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego or Orange County and you or a loved one has experienced complications from drowning or a death, you may be eligible to receive compensation under California law.

Near drownings can leave the victim with serious problems, including brain damage. A large amount of water, such as a pool, is not required to pose a drowning threat. Many drownings occur in locations with as little as 2 inches of water, such as:

• A bucket with water
• A sink
• A bath tub
• A toilet
• A puddle

A drowning or swimming-related accident is considered a premises liability lawsuit. The owner and operator of a swimming pool is responsible for any injuries sustained while on his or her property. Swimming accidents may occur because the owner was negligent and provided an unsafe environment. For example, children and adults should always have proper supervision while swimming, a fence with a working lock should surround the pool, and no one should ever swim while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
