Who is Liable for a Drowning Accident?
When a drowning accident occurs, the question of liability follows shortly. Who can be held liable for such a tragic accident? Typically, liability falls on the owner of the property in which the drowning occurred. It can also fall on entities operating on a body of water, such as a boating company that hosts tours on a public waterway.
Our attorneys can handle drowning accident claims involving:
- Private swimming pools
- Public swimming pools
- Hotel swimming pools
- Waterparks
- Community swimming pools
- Boating on Lake Waco
How Do Drowning Accidents Happen?
When we determine who should be liable for the drowning accident, the next step is to determine what they did wrong to cause it. An investigation into the accident may reveal one or more mistakes made by the property owner that should have been preventable with more care. In such a situation, we can argue that the mistake is a form of negligence, and therefore, the property owner should be liable.
Four of the most common types of negligence that adds to the risk of a drowning accident are:
- Not enough lifeguards on duty
- Not enough training for lifeguards
- Not enough life preservers near the water
- Not enough life vests available for guests
What is a Near-Fatal Drowning Accident?
Not all drowning accidents are fatal. In medical contexts, someone can drown without passing away if medical intervention occurs fast enough. At Law Offices Of Vic Feazell, P.C., we can work on any drowning accident case, including near-fatal drownings filed on behalf of the person who technically drowned but survived.
