Helping San Francisco Families Pursue Wrongful Death Claims After Tragic Drowning Accidents
Drowning accidents sometimes occur when pools and other recreational facilities do not have a sufficient number of lifeguards on duty – or where the lifeguards are not sufficiently trained to prevent drowning accidents. If your loved one was involved in a drowning accident that you believe was caused by a property owner’s negligence, you may be able to assert a claim or file a lawsuit against the property owner for wrongful death.
Losing a loved one in a drowning accident or any other accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence is never easy. Although no amount of monetary compensation would ever be enough to replace a lost loved one, it could help to bring about a sense of much-needed closure and justice.
If you have lost a loved one in a drowning accident, the San Francisco drowning lawyers at The Cartwright Law Firm, Inc. may be able to help. Our legal team could look at the facts of your case and determine if you might be eligible to file a claim or lawsuit against someone for wrongful death damages. We could then assist you with pursuing the necessary monetary compensation in your case.

Property Owners Owe Their Visitors a Duty of Reasonable Care
Individuals and entities who have pools and other recreational facilities on their properties owe their visitors a duty of care. Business invitees are owed the highest duty of care by property owners since they are on the premises to patronize the business owner. Specifically, property owners owe business invitees a duty to ensure that their properties (including pools which are located on the property) are kept in a reasonably safe condition at all times and are free from known hazards and defects.
In the pool context, this duty of care extends to making sure that a sufficient number of lifeguards are on duty at a given time – and that the lifeguards are properly trained. They must also ensure that pool drains are properly covered and that all necessary measures and protocols are in place to prevent drowning accidents. Finally, pool/property owners must ensure that the necessary rescue equipment is available in the event an emergency arises.
When a drowning accident can be traced to a pool/property owner’s negligence, then the accident victim’s surviving loved ones could pursue a wrongful death claim or lawsuit against the person or entity who was at fault for the accident.
