Am I eligible for compensation following a pool accident?
If you have been injured in a swimming pool accident caused by the pool owner’s negligence, you might be eligible for compensation. Pool accidents can cause serious, life-changing injuries, if not death. To begin your journey to compensation, you should gain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney. Your attorney will need to prove that negligence caused your injuries in a premises liability claim. In order to prove negligence, they must show that the accident was a direct result of the pool owner’s failure to ensure the lawful standard of care and safety. Your attorney will back this information with evidence that they will retrieve on your behalf including photos of the pool, medical documents of the injuries, and any witnesses’ statements who saw the accident occur.
