New Jersey Drowning Accidents Lawyers

Swimming pools allow family members and friends to socialize and enjoy themselves. Unfortunately, swimming pools can also be a source of grave danger when individuals are not properly supervised and pools are not properly maintained. No matter how old an individual is, drowning is always a hazard when there is a body of water nearby.

In many cases, individuals drown because of the negligent actions of others. If someone you love drowned in a swimming pool accident, contact the New Jersey drowning accidents lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 to learn more about your legal rights during this difficult time.

Causes of Drowning Accidents

There are a number of reasons why a drowning may occur. Unlike public pools, private pools are not required to have lifeguards on duty, meaning that individuals may swim unsupervised or without others around. This can be very dangerous, especially for young children.

Other causes for drowning accidents may include:

  • Malfunctioning or overly powerful pool filters
  • Slip and fall accidents due to wet surfaces
  • Debris or heavy objects left in the pool

In some cases, a negligent property owner may be liable for a drowning that occurs on his or her property under premises liability law. Individuals wishing to take legal action against a property owner for a loved one’s drowning death should discuss their options with an experienced New Jersey drowning accident lawyer.
