Introduction
Drowning is a tragic and preventable cause of injury and death, particularly among children and the elderly. In many cases, negligence plays a significant role, whether it’s due to unsafe swimming pools, lack of supervision, or defective water safety equipment.
At Fischer Redavid PLLC, we represent victims and grieving families in drowning-related injury cases, ensuring that property owners, lifeguards, businesses, and institutions are held accountable.
Understanding Drowning Accidents
Drowning isn’t always fatal; non-fatal drowning can result in brain damage, lung complications, and permanent disabilities due to lack of oxygen. Victims who survive often require extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
Common Causes of Drowning Accidents
✔ Unsupervised Pools – Negligent hotel, apartment, or private pool owners failing to monitor guests. ✔ Lack of Barriers or Fencing – Poorly secured pools can allow children and pets to fall in unnoticed. ✔ Lifeguard Negligence – Untrained, distracted, or absent lifeguards failing to intervene in time. ✔ Defective Equipment – Faulty pool drains, diving boards, or life vests. ✔ Boating Accidents – Lack of life jackets, intoxicated boat operators, or defective watercraft.
Long-Term Consequences of Drowning Injuries
✔ Brain Damage from Oxygen Deprivation – Cognitive impairment, memory loss, or permanent disabilities. ✔ Emotional Trauma – PTSD and anxiety related to water-related incidents. ✔ Financial Hardship – Expensive long-term medical treatments and therapies.
