Paul d'Oliveira attorney from the law offices of d'Oliveira & Associates. Swimming pool
accidents. In order to be compensated for an injury or a death of a loved one from a
swimming pool accident, we need to prove negligence or that it was someone else's fault. You are
not able to collect for a swimming pool accident if we cannot prove that if was someone else's
fault. These are the biggest hurdles that attorneys face when presented with a serious
injury from a pool accident or in some instances even death. Some common types of negligence
that can happen from pool accident cases are inadequate supervision, typical case might
be where friends of a child visit someone's home and the parent or the guardian or the
person responsible doesn't properly supervise these kids. That's a typical pool injury case
that can happen. There is negligence there, that's what you have to show in order to collect
for compensation which is generally for medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering
and in death cases there is whole merit of other things people can collect for, for the
death of a loved one. Another type of negligence is failure to warn about slippery surfaces.
Another type can be something like failure to put up a no diving sign, especially with
a public pool area. Another type would be failure to indicate pool depths or how deep
a pool is in certain arrears. There are many other ways to show negligence and if someone
has been injured or died from a pool accident and you feel you may have a case you should
contact a lawyer to find out. Our firm charges no fee until you obtain a settlement or recovery.
