Am I eligible for compensation following a pool accident?
If you have been injured in a swimming pool accident that was caused by a negligence pool owner, you may have a valid claim. To recover financial compensation, you will need to retain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney who will work to prove negligence in a premises liability claim.
To start, your attorney will work to prove that negligence caused your damages and that your accident was a direct result of the pool owner’s failure to ensure the lawful standard of care and safety. To support this claim, they will recover evidence such as photos and videos of the scene of your accident, witness statements from individuals who saw your accident happen, and medical documentation from the treatment you went through after sustaining injuries.
