Jefferson County Drowning Accident Lawyers
The CDC reports that more than 3,000 people died as a result of a drowning accident in 2007. For every person who died as a result of accidental drowning, many more were injured as a result of a submersion accident. One common cause of drowning fatalities and submersion injuries is swimming pool accidents. Tragically, children are often the victims of such accidents.
If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a swimming pool accident, you may have a basis to receive compensation for your injuries. Swimming pool owners who fail to take adequate precautions may be held responsible for injuries people have sustained in a swimming pool accident.

Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents
Many swimming pool accidents occur because children gain unauthorized access to a pool or because of dangerous property conditions. Common causes of swimming pool accidents include:
- Inadequate depth or safety warnings
- Lack of proper fencing
- Broken or unsecured gate latches
- Murky water that contributes to diving accidents
- Other dangerous property conditions
