Swimming and Diving Injuries
Wausau Swimming and Diving Injuries Lawyer
Swimming pools are much more dangerous than people may think. Every year, thousands of people are injured while swimming or diving and over 3,000 people drown each year due to a swimming or diving accident. Although swimming is a popular source of recreation, injuries that result from accidents may range from minor to severe. Some of the more serious injuries include fractured bones, brain damage, paralysis, and spinal cord injuries. If you were injured while swimming in a pool owned by someone else, the pool owner or manager may be liable for your injuries. To learn more about your legal options, contact an attorney. It is important to remember than any size pool of water may be dangerous. Sinks, fish tanks, bath tubs, toilets, and ponds should all be considered dangerous. Children need to be monitored carefully around any amount of water to ensure their safety.
Events that may cause a swimming pool accident:
- Inadequate supervision of children
- Inadequate instruction and training
- Failure to maintain the pool in safe condition
- Improperly designed or constructed pools
- Failure to secure pools from children
- Lack of safety equipment and inadequate warnings
