No one ever expects to have his or her life changed while enjoying the hot summer months in the pool but, unfortunately each year thousands of people are injured while swimming in friends’, families’, neighbors’, or hotel swimming pools.
If you or a loved one have been injured while swimming in someone else’s pool it is important that you know your legal rights. For instance many times the person who owns the pool may have homeowner’s insurance that will cover your injuries.
Our firm represents individuals, along with their loved ones, who have suffered through swimming pool accidents. We understand that the injuries suffered, as a result of a swimming pool accident can be severe and life altering for both the victim and their family.
Our experienced attorneys will discuss your situation and go over the options available to you, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure your needs are handled properly.
We will determine if someone is responsible for you or your loved ones injuries. If someone is responsible they or their insurance company may owe you monetary damages. These can include compensatory and/or punitive damages. Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured, (i.e. lost wages, past and future medical expenses, and pain and suffering etc.). In some cases, punitive damages are also awarded. Punitive damages are given to the injured person in order to penalize wrongdoers and deter others from repeating the offense.
If you are physically unable to come to us, we are willing to drive to you, so please, if you or a loved one has been injured call or email us to set up a FREE consultation to discuss your legal options. You will have NO attorney fees, court costs, or litigation expenses unless you recover.
