    The Dangers of Drowning

    We all know drowning can be fatal, but you may not know that near drowning can cause physical and emotional trauma that may last for a long time and possibly your lifetime. By working with one of our lawyers, you could secure the money you need to treat your condition.

    Some of the injuries we see in drowning survivors include:

    Brain Damage

    When someone is drowning, oxygen cannot pass into the lungs because water is in the way. Brain cells start dying when you cannot get enough oxygen to the brain. This can lead to brain damage. Your drowning may cause you to suffer from:

    • Cognitive difficulties
    • Paralysis
    • Speech problems
    • Personality alterations
    • Behavioral changes
    • Vision and hearing issues
    • Motor skill impairment

    These conditions may never heal properly. Brain damage is notoriously hard to heal. An El Dorado Hills drowning accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you need to care for these conditions.

    Life-Threatening Injuries

    Other injuries could arise from your drowning accident. These include:

    • Hypothermia
    • Head and spinal cord injuries
    • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

    You may also have other trauma from your accident that caused you to drown. For example, if a boat pilot hits you with their vessel while you’re swimming, then those injuries could cause you to drown. We can fold the costs of these additional injuries into your claim.

    By working with Triumph Law, you’ll have someone with experience in drowning cases who can fight to get the care and compensation you need to move past what happened to you. We can help you get the medical care you require to achieve the best possible recovery.

    Negligence and Drowning Accidents

    Any body of water, public or private, could be the scene of a drowning accident. Owners of properties with a body of water need to take safety measures to protect others who get into the water.

    Most drowning accidents are a form of premises liability. Here are some of the negligent causes that lead to drowning accidents:

    Lack of Supervision

    Public swimming pools have regulations they must follow to keep people safe. They need lifeguards with proper training, staff to keep the pool from being overcrowded, safety gear, and more. At the very least, they need signage to notify swimmers that there is no lifeguard on duty.

    Public swimming locations also need disaster plans in case something goes wrong, as well as emergency equipment. If any of these are not in place, that creates a dangerous situation for swimmers. Our El Dorado Hills drowning accidents attorney will find out if these rules were broken.

    Equipment Failure

    In a place like a water park, a hot tub, or any other body of water with jets and pumps, there’s a chance they could fail and hold a swimmer underwater. For instance, hair could get caught inside an intake valve and refuse to let a swimmer resurface.

    If these components cause drowning, the owner of the pool may be liable, as well as the part manufacturer or the installer.

    Poor or No Fencing

    For private bodies of water, owners must take care to prevent unauthorized people from entering the pool. Pools are considered “attractive nuisances” because people, especially children, are naturally attracted to water.

    Without proper fencing around a pool, a child may fall in and drown. This could mean the property owner is liable for the drowning. Triumph Law can find out if you have a premises liability claim under the attractive nuisance regulations.

    What Damages Can I Claim in a Drowning Accident?

    A drowning accident lawyer can help you pursue an insurance claim or a lawsuit and maximize the amount of compensation you can receive from the insurers. If we cannot come to a settlement agreement with them, we’ll take your case to court.

    Some damages you could claim in a drowning accident include:

    • Current and future medical costs related to the drowning
    • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
    • Emotional trauma
    • Property damage (e.g. you were in a boat crash and drowned)
    • Pain and suffering
    • Loss of enjoyment of life
    • Funeral and final expenses, if you’ve lost a loved one in a drowning accident

    There are other damages you could also receive. An insurer will try to undervalue your case and get you to accept a settlement quickly but do not take it without talking to a lawyer. Let our attorneys identify all the sources of liability so you can get the most money from your case.
