Connecticut Pool Injury Lawyers | Swimming Injury Attorneys
According to a 2007 report by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 3,000 people died that year as a result of unintentional drownings. For every person fatally injured as a result of a drowning accident, several more are injured in nonfatal submersion injuries. Since water submersion injuries deprive the brain of oxygen, surviving accident victims often suffer permanent brain damage.

Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents
In many cases, children are injured in a swimming pool accident because they gain access to a pool that is not being monitored. Adequate fences or other appropriate structures should be in place to prevent children from gaining access to pools without proper supervision. Door latches must be properly secured and in good working order.
Another cause of pool accidents is pool overloads, where a hotel pool or apartment pool has too many people. In some cases, pools are not properly marked to indicate the depth of water. Any form of owner negligence that contributes to the cause of a swimming pool accident may potentially be sufficient to establish liability.
If you feel that a pool owner's negligence may have contributed to a swimming pool injury or fatality, contact an attorney immediately to learn more about your potential legal remedies.
