New Jersey Pool Drain Injury Lawyers

Swimming pools offer a place for recreation and relaxation. Whether outdoors during the hot summer months or indoors to escape the stress of workdays in the winter, the pool represents an easy and instant escape from external pressures. Automatic drain systems have made life more convenient for pool owners, but the powerful suction used in these drains has the potential to cause serious or possibly even fatal injuries to anyone who becomes caught in them.

If you or someone you love has been hurt by a pool drain, contact the New Jersey pool drain injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Types of Injuries

Pool drains may cause a number of different injuries. Typically, the injury an individual receives depends on the force of the suction, the size of the individual, the duration of the victim’s entrapment, and the depth of the water. In most cases, children receive the most severe injuries.

Pool drain injuries may include:

  • Bruising and contusions
  • Internal organ damage
  • Internal bleeding
  • Drowning or near-drowning

In the worst case, a pool drain accident victim may be tragically killed as a result of their injuries. Because of the dangers of pool drains, there are regulations on how drains must be built. Individuals and companies whose pools fail to meet these specifications may be held legally liable when individuals suffer injuries from their drains.
