Idaho Slip and Fall Lawyer
Enforcing Your Legal Rights When Pool Owners are Careless
Swimming pools can be dangerous for anyone, from small children to accomplished adult swimmers. For this reason, numerous laws exist governing:
- Swimming pool access
- The supervision of swimming pools
- The enclosure/fencing of swimming pools
- Swimming pool maintenance
Were you or your child injured in a swimming pool accident? Have you lost a loved one in a swimming pool-related accident? Contact us and we can explain your rights at no charge. For instance:
- Swimming pools are considered an "attractive nuisance." Attractive nuisances are hazardous objects or conditions that are likely to attract children and that involve risks that children will not likely appreciate or perceive
- Public and municipal swimming pool owners can be held liable if lifeguards are negligent and drowning or other injuries occur
- Swimming pools that are covered with seasonal tarps are highly dangerous, especially to small children.
We have decades of experience handling personal injury cases in Idaho and can aggressively and knowledgeably handle all aspects of your swimming pool injury case. Our experience includes holding hotel and apartment complex owners liable for everything from slip and fall injuries to wrongful deaths at their pools.
For instance, in a case we are currently handling, a child was submerged in a swimming pool for 20 minutes, receiving no aid from the on-duty lifeguard. We are:
- Working with medical experts to quantify current and future injuries (which are severe)
- Using our experience as former insurance attorneys to anticipate and counter insurers' arguments
We know that, often, swimming pool accidents involve suing a neighbor or even a close friend. However, swimming pool injuries often lead to enormous medical bills, and insurers are delighted when victims decline to pursue compensation for any reason. Don't do them a favor by not fighting for your rights.
