Written by Mariel TollinchiA sad fact is that many children die each year due to water-related accidents in Florida. Besides car accidents, drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 14 and younger.
Drowning doesn't just affect children. Drowning accidents are one of the leading causes of unintentional deaths for the elderly as well.
If you have lost a loved one due to a swimming pool or water-related accident recently, getting in touch with a drowning accident attorney may be the best thing that you can do for your family in this time of need.
Contact Mariel Tollinchi to learn about your legal options.
What usually starts off as a lighthearted day in the water may leave so many families heartbroken and lost. Water-related accidents that occur in swimming pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans are more common than most people think. Even more disappointing is that these accidents are usually caused by the negligence of another party such as the pool's owner or the manufacturer of faulty products.
There are laws, guidelines, and regulations in place to help deter drowning incidents from happening. Unfortunately, these laws are not enough to prevent every drowning accident. Some of the most common causes of drowning accidents include:
Without the proper tools and supervision in place, water activities can become very deadly.
Drowning accidents can lead to overwhelming expenses, emotional trauma, and other pain and suffering. If someone was responsible for the drowning accident, you and your loved ones deserve to be compensated for these damages.
But it's not always easy to recover the compensation you are entitled to by law. That's why you should seek legal representation from swimming pool accident attorney Mariel Tollinchi. Let her work tirelessly to ensure you are fully compensated for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more after a drowning accident.
When someone suffers from a water-related injury or wrongful death, the nature of the accident must be dissected to understand who is liable for the injury. Mariel Tollinchi will break down and evaluate the details of your case to determine who is liable.
Depending on where the accident took place, the property owner, tenant, or occupier of the property could be held liable for drowning accidents. This may include a homeowner, government entity, hotel, resort, or any other party that owns a property where a drowning accident occurs. Under premises liability laws, these parties are required to maintain safe conditions on their properties to protect their visitors. If a drowning accident occurs as a result of their failure to maintain safe conditions, they can be held liable for the victim's injuries.
A manufacturer, designer, retailer, or wholesaler could also be held liable if the drowning accident was caused by a defective product. For example, if a life jacket or another product designed to help inexperienced swimmers is defective, the parties involved in the creation of this product might be held liable if someone drowns as a result of the defective product.
The key to winning compensation in a personal injury or wrongful death claim is proving negligence. But unfortunately, it's not easy to prove negligence, especially if you are not represented by an experienced attorney. For this reason, it's in your best interest to seek legal representation from Mariel Tollinchi as soon as possible after a drowning accident. Let her investigate your case and gather the evidence that you will need to prove liability and secure compensation.
Florida law allows grieving families to recover compensation for their tragic loss after a drowning accident. To recover this compensation, you will need an attorney's help. Contact drowning accident lawyer Mariel Tollinchi as soon as possible after losing a loved one in a swimming pool accident.
