Can I sue for a drowning accident if there isn’t proper safety equipment at a pool?

If you drowned at a pool lacking proper safety equipment or without fencing, you may be eligible for compensation. That is because the accident was caused through someone else’s negligence.

Other instances where you can receive compensation from a drowning incident include:

  • Failure of the property owner to keep the premises safe
  • Failing to keep swimming pool equipment in proper working condition
  • Hiring unqualified personnel as lifeguards
  • Failing to adequately train lifeguards
  • Failing to adequately supervise children playing in or near a swimming pool
  • Defective swimming pool equipment
  • Operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
