Swimming Pool Drowning Accidents

Experts studying such matters have found that an individual can become incapacitated and drown by inhaling as little as one teaspoon of water. This is quite frightening when one thinks about all of the children who are left unsupervised in water well over a foot deep whether it is in a bath tub or a swimming pool. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that drowning accidents are the second leading cause of death of children between the ages of 1 and 14.

Swimming pool drowning accidents can be attributed to a number of causes - with the most significant factor being negligence. Careless supervision, improper pool covers, negligent elder care are all scenarios which could cause the accidental drowning of a loved one. If because of the negligence of a responsible party, a loved one has died or suffered injury as a result of a drowning accident, it is important to speak with an attorney to have all your questions fully and accurately answered. It is important also to undertake a thorough investigation at the earliest possible time in order to secure the necessary evidence to effectively handle the case.
