Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents
An owner of a swimming pool — whether a private homeowner or the owner of the hotel or apartment complex — can be held liable for any injuries that occur in the swimming pool on the premises. Some common causes of swimming pool accidents caused by negligence include:
- Failure to supervise
- Gates left open
- Lack of fencing
- Faulty drain
- Failure to maintain
- Failure to post warning signs
When property owners fail to keep their swimming pools or the area surrounding their swimming pools safe, swimmers are put at risk. This is especially dangerous for children, who are often victims of drownings and swimming pool accidents. Injuries commonly associated with a swimming pool accident include oxygen deprivation injuries, head injuries, brain damage and fatal injuries/drownings.
