Read on to learn more about how Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas may be able to help and then contact us at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation.

If a drowning accident was the result of negligence then someone should be held responsible

It is not uncommon for a person who has suffered a catastrophic injury during a drowning accident to feel as though no one was really at fault. In some cases that may be true, but it is often true that one party acted recklessly or negligently. If that is the case then you need an experienced, aggressive personal injury attorney on your side. You can trust that we will fight diligently, aggressively, and tirelessly to get you and your family what you deserve.

You can turn to us with all types of drowning accidents

There are many situations that can lead to drowning accidents. Some accidents happen in the bathtub, some happen in a swimming pool. Some are related to alcohol, some happen in a flood or on a boat. No matter what the situation is, we understand the laws that apply to these accidents. We can find the negligent party, whether it was the owner of the property that did not keep the property or an individual who did not adequately supervise children playing around or in a pool.

Drowning accidents may happen because the equipment used at a pool is not in good working order, or because a lifeguard was not properly trained. Whether the cause is a lack of safety equipment at a public pool, private party with a pool and no fence, a person operating a boat while drinking or doing drugs, or swimming pool equipment that is defective, we are on your side.

You deserve the maximum compensation

The type of damages you may be eligible for will depend on the specifics of the case. Some examples of potential damages you may be eligible for including occupational therapy, past medical bills, physical therapy, future medical bills, rehabilitation, permanent disability, lost wages, loss of enjoyment in life, lost future wages, mental anguish, pain, emotional distress, and suffering.

If you or a loved one has suffered from a drowning accident that was at least partially the result of another person or entity acting recklessly or negligently then we encourage you to contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 today. We will begin with a free legal consultation and will take your case on a contingency basis if we take it. Call today to get started.
