What is an Accidental Drowning?
Accidental drownings occur when someone you love passes away from submersion in water, often due to a lack of oxygen. These tragic incidents can occur in various bodies of water, such as:
- Hotel pools
- Recreational centers
- Private pools
- Water Parks
- Amusement Parks
- Public Beaches
- Gyms
- Apartment Pools
- And more
In the USA, approximately 10 people drown every single day. Whether it's a near-drowning incident that has resulted in injuries or a fatal drowning, our accidental drowning lawyers can help you find justice. [1]
The risks of drowning are particularly high for children, who can drown in just a few inches of water. [2]
Types of Drownings
Drowning accidents can occur in various environments, each with its own unique set of circumstances. Some common types of drownings include:
- Boating Drownings: Boating accidents can easily lead to drowning if the vessel capsizes, someone falls overboard, or the boat is not properly equipped with life vests and other safety equipment. If a negligent boater causes an accident that results in an injury or death due to drowning, they may be held responsible for their actions.
- Near-Drowning: Near-drowning occurs when a person survives a drowning incident but suffers severe injuries, such as brain damage or cardiac arrest. The victim may require ongoing medical care and long-term assistance to recover from the incident.
- Swimming Pool Drownings: Swimming pools should be places of fun and relaxation, but they can quickly become dangerous if safety standards are not met. Negligent pool owners may be held liable for any injury or death that occurs due to their failure to provide a safe environment.
Whether it involves inadequate supervision, lack of proper safety measures, or other factors contributing to the incident.
At Goldberg & Loren, our accidental drowning lawyers are dedicated to fighting for justice and helping victims through this difficult time.
Duty of Care for Accidental Drowning
Property owners have a legal duty of care to protect your safety and any other individuals visiting their premises.
This duty extends to ensuring the safety of individuals around bodies of water, such as swimming pools or water parks.
When property owners fail to fulfill their duty of care and negligence leads to accidental drownings, they may be held liable for the resulting injuries or fatalities. This duty includes providing proper supervision, maintaining reasonable safety measures like life jackets or lifeguards, and adequately securing areas that present a drowning hazard.
Negligence plays a significant role in many accidental drownings. Property owners, such as those who own swimming pools or operate public water parks, have a duty of care to ensure the safety of their guests.
For instance, if your child drowns in a swimming pool due to a lack of supervision, the pool owner or operator may be liable for the incident.
Our accidental drowning lawyers are ready to help you pursue a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit. We will support you and your family and fight to obtain the financial compensation you deserve.
Financial Recovery After a Drowning Accident
If you or a loved one has been involved in a drowning accident, seeking financial recovery can help alleviate the burden of medical expenses, loss of income, and other damages.
Whether the incident occurred at a public pool, private property, or water park, the responsible party may be held accountable for their actions or lack thereof. Financial recovery may encompass:
- Funeral Expenses - After a fatal drowning accident, families may be left with expensive funeral costs. Our lawyers can pursue financial recovery to help you cover these expenses and ensure that your loved one is given a proper burial.
- Lost Wages and Income - When a drowning accident results in an injury or fatality, the victim's family may be left without financial support. Our attorneys will work to help you recover lost wages, income, and other damages associated with the incident.
- Medical Bills - Medical bills can quickly become overwhelming after a drowning accident. Our lawyers can pursue financial recovery to help you cover these expenses, as well as any future medical care you may require.
- Pain and Suffering - Pain and suffering are often part of any accidental drowning case. This can include physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other damages. Our lawyers will fight to ensure that you receive compensation for all the harm that has been inflicted upon you or your loved one.
