Holding Pool and Water Park Operators Responsible For Their Negligence

Drowning accident claims fall under premises liability because, more often than not, they occur due to an inadequately maintained or secured premise. This can include things such as:

  • Lifeguard ineptitude or negligence
  • Improper signage
  • Inadequate safety equipment
  • Unmaintained surfaces

Proving liability in these cases can be a difficult task. Swimming pools often try to shirk responsibility by claiming a “swim at your own risk” sign is adequate to deflect any additional responsibility for swimmers. This is a ridiculous claim but has been successful in past trials.
