Sarasota Swimming Pool Accident Attorneys
Children are very clever in gaining access unknown to things and places we do not want them to be. Young children, and many older children, do not know how to swim. And when they get past an inadequate barrier to a swimming pool, the danger of drowning is real. Contact a Sarasota swimming pool accident lawyer.
Especially in Florida, water is everywhere. In our hot climate, everyone wants a pool, or access to cool water. This may mean a pond, public beach, or apartment complex recreation area. Any owner of a pool has a legal responsibility to take steps to avoid children and adults drowning.
Children
Children should only swim with appropriate supervision. If no one is around and a child passes through a gate that does not lock, the owner may be liable for that child drowning. If an incompetent lifeguard is presented as looking out for you or your child, the owner that hired him or her may be liable for injury. The same is true for a public beach, and the government entity may be liable.
There are many empty homes at this time, due to foreclosures throughout the state. Banks that own these properties have a duty to ensure that swimming pools and hot tubs are inaccessible.
Kallins | Little strongly advises adults and children to take swimming lessons, to take note of conditions at swimming locations you visit and to supervise children. If you have lost a loved one to drowning and feel it could have been avoided, contact us for caring representation.
