Austin Swimming Pool Injury Lawyer
Swimming pools may be sources of great joy, comfort, and excitement for families, especially during the hot summer months. However, these public play areas may also pose a risk for those who do not know how to swim. Swimming pools may be especially hazardous for young children and infants who are not yet able to hold themselves above the water.
Sadly, every year, thousands of people die in drowning accidents, not including those who drowned in accidents related to boating on open water. If the individual responsible for either a public or private pool fails to provide the area with either a lifeguard, secure gate, or safety sign, then he or she may also be responsible for any drowning injuries or deaths that occur on the premises.
If someone you love has died from a drowning injury at a public pool, you may be able to win compensation for this loss. Call the Austin swimming pool injuries lawyers of The Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. today at 877-948-4842 to learn more about how we can help you.
The Dangerous Effects of Drowning
The body goes through a series of reactions as it is held, helpless, under water. Once a person has spent a certain amount of time in an oxygen-deprived state, he or she will develop serious brain damage, from which the brain will never be able to recover. The steps in drowning are the following:
- Holding one’s breath
- Panic and struggle
- Water inhalation
- Loss of consciousness
- Brain damage from lack of oxygen
- Cardiac Arrest
- Death
Even if a drowning death does not occur, any of the stages listed above can cause incredible pain and long-term damage. Irresponsible property owners must be held accountable for any of these injuries they have allowed to happen because of their negligent pool ownership.
