Drowning Accidents

Drowning Accidents | Personal Injury Lawyer for Metro Houston

With tragic regularity, drowning accidents continue to happen across Metro Houston. An average of 3,536 deaths by unintentional drownings happen each year in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control.

Property owners can be found legally liable for drowning accidents when their actions cause a drowning or if negligent or reckless operation of a swimming pool or swimming area is involved in the drowning. If the owner is negligent in the drowning, operates an unsafe swimming pool or fails to guard people from harm, members of the victim’s family may sue to receive damages and financial compensation in the case. Negligent property owners, lifeguards, employees, managers and supervisors can be sued for drowning accidents. To be eligible for damages, the surviving family may need to demonstrate the property owner was required to use reasonable care to avoid injury, was negligent and this was as significant factor in the drowning accident.
