Common Types of Swimming Pool Accidents

There are several types of accidents that can occur in and around swimming pools that are located in San Francisco. Some of the most common types of swimming pool accidents include the following:

Drowning accidents
Slip and fall accidents in areas surrounding the pool (e.g., sun decks and pool decks)
Waterslide accidents

These accidents can lead to various injuries, including traumatic head injuries, fractures, muscular strains/sprains, and spinal cord injuries. If you or a person you love has suffered an injury in one of these types of swimming pool accidents, an experienced San Francisco swimming pool injuries attorney could help you pursue the monetary compensation and damages that you deserve for your injuries.

Types of Negligence that Can Lead to Swimming Pool Accidents and Injuries

Premises owners are responsible for taking reasonable measures to ensure that the swimming pools located on their properties are properly maintained and kept in a reasonably safe condition at all times. In some cases, however, property owners and swimming pool operators are negligent in the following ways:

Failing to ensure that lifeguards are properly trained
Failing to ensure that a sufficient number of lifeguards are on duty (especially when the pool is crowded)
Failing to promptly clean up spills and water puddles in areas surrounding the pool
Failing to properly maintain swimming pool equipment, including rescue equipment
Failing to ensure that sufficient rescue equipment is available for pool patrons

In order to pursue and recover monetary compensation following a swimming pool accident, the accident victim has the legal burden of proof. If the accident victim can show that the at-fault pool owner/operator violated the legal standard of care, then he or she could pursue compensation for all related medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
