What is a Drowning Accident?

A drowning accident occurs when a person experiences respiratory impairment due to submersion in a liquid, often resulting in severe injury or death. These accidents can happen in various settings, including private pools, public water parks, natural bodies of water, or during boating activities.
Many drowning incidents could be prevented with proper safety measures, supervision, and maintenance. Our attorneys specialize in investigating the circumstances surrounding drowning accidents to identify responsible parties and pursue rightful compensation.

Missing fences, faulty gates, or poorly maintained pool equipment can create hazardous environments.
Inadequate Warning Signs
Failure to post clear signage about water depth, currents, or other dangers.
Boating or Watercraft Accidents
Overcrowding, operator negligence, or lack of safety gear leading to drowning.
Alcohol or Drug Use
