Swimming and Diving Injuries
Lake Geneva Swimming and Diving Injuries Lawyer
Most people don’t really stop to consider the dangers associated with swimming pools. Swimming pool accidents are much more common than you may think. More than 3,000 people drown in swimming pools each year and the number of people seriously injured in swimming pool continues to increase. Injuries to the spinal cord, brain, as well as fractured bones and heads are the most common types of injuries that may occur in swimming pools. Permanent brain damage or spinal cord damage may result from these injuries. Swimming pools, however, are not the only place that a person could drown. Sinks, fish tanks, bathtubs, toilets, hot tubs, ponds, and spas could also be considered dangerous.
Common causes of swimming pool accidents:
- No supervision of children
- No instruction and training in pool safety
- Failure to maintain the safe condition of the pool
- Poorly designed or constructed pools
- Failure to protect children from open pools
- Lack of safety equipment and warnings about possible dangers
