Swimming Pool Accidents
As one can imagine, with the hundreds of thousands of swimming pools in California, our state is second only to Florida in swimming pool related injuries and deaths in the United States. 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. Property owners may be found liable if their negligence lead to the injury or death.
A drowning accident can take the life of any individual, but children seem to be most at risk for drowning. Never leave children unattended around a pool, hot tub, or spa. Remember it only takes a few seconds and a small amount of water to drown a small child.
Jensen & Associates has successfully represented victims of swimming pool accidents. Frequently we have seen terrible injuries caused at an older apartment complex where the pool is not up to applicable codes for handrails or for the height of the steps. One such case we tried to a jury verdict involved a man who was almost killed from the fall he sustained.
