Thousands of people die in drowning accidents in the United States every year. Tragically, many of these drowning victims are children. In fact, drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children under the age of 14. When drowning accidents are caused by the careless or negligent actions of another, the victims' family members may seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit.

Drowning Accidents
Drowning accidents can occur anywhere there is standing water, but many take place at swimming pools, water parks, resorts and hotels. The owners and operators of these areas are legally responsible for providing adequate supervision for swimmers. They must also maintain adequate fencing, warning signs, floatation devices and other safety equipment.
When they fail in these responsibilities, the results can be tragic. Even if a child survives a water accident, he or she may be left with significant injuries such as permanent brain damage. In handling swimming pool and drowning accident cases, we work to identity all liable parties, to help our clients obtain the financial resources they need to pay for medical bills and other losses.
