Swimming Pool Safety
Swimming pools offer a refreshing treat on hot summer days, and a year round opportunity for physical rehabilitation and exercise. Children and adults alike enjoy swimming, and most often an excursion to the pool causes no greater problem than temporarily being chilly when you hop out. However fun they are, swimming pools also pose an opportunity for personal injury, and even death. In too many instances, these injuries are avoidable.
Drowning
Without a doubt, the biggest danger of a swimming pool is drowning resulting in accidental death. Many at-home and hotel pools do not have a lifeguard on duty. In those instances, proper signage and common sense on the part of adult supervisors can be key in preventing a fatal accident. It is the responsibility of the pool’s owner to make sure children cannot access the pool without appropriate supervision, and that signs indicating potential risk be clearly posted throughout the premises.
Loved ones of those who have died in a swimming pool accident in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Florida caused by inadequate signage or ineffective lifeguards have the right to seek compensation for their personal suffering, mental anguish, and related funeral costs. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you recoup those loses.
Slip and Fall Accidents
It is the responsibility of the pool’s owners to ensure all potentially dangerous wet areas are properly maintained. In addition, signs and proper lighting should be placed around the pool to adequately warn swimmers of the potential for slipping. Slip and fall accidents can lead to myriad heath issues like broken bones, concussions, and even traumatic brain injury.
Diving boards provide an additional level of safety concern. These are often high off of the ground, and general usage can strip the board of its grip covering. When grip is missing, or diving boards are not installed properly, the risk of injury is increased. Often time, those who have suffered diving board accidents suffer from temporary or permanent disabilities.
Swimming Pool Safety Regulations
Federal and state laws mandate proper signage, adequate lighting, supervision, and restricted access to pools. It is the responsibility of the operator of the pool to ensure all safety regulations are followed. If these regulations have not been followed, not only are laws being broken, but the potential for injury to others is substantially increased.
