North Dakota Pool Accident Attorney | Free Consultation

On average, about ten people die each day of drowning in the United States. And many of these drowning deaths occur due to swimming pool accidents. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a swimming pool accident on someone else’s property in North Dakota, you need to enlist the help of a professional North Dakota personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

But what types of pool accidents may necessitate the help of a lawyer? And how should you choose among accident attorneys in North Dakota? If you’re looking for answers, read on to learn more.

Common Types of Swimming Pool Accident Injuries

Swimming pool accidents may be fatal or nonfatal. Our attorneys have handled both types of accidents, and we know all too well the havoc that these injuries can wreak on families’ lives. These accidents can include slip and falls, diving in shallow water, entrapment in a pool drain, and more.

Common serious swimming pool injuries include:

• Drownings / near-drownings
• Concussions
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Broken bones from slips and falls
• Spinal cord injuries
• Disembowelment

The Dangers of Swimming Pools

Swimming pool accident claims fall under premises liability law. Premises liability law regards the duty of care that property owners have to keep guests on their premises safe.

Pool owners must take precautions including:

• Maintaining pool equipment and replacing all defective or malfunctioning parts
• Supplying warning and safety signage, such as “no diving” (if applicable)
• Ensure that pools are properly secured with a secure regulation barrier, such as a fence with a locking gate
• Ensuring that surfaces around the pool are clear of debris and tripping hazards
• Maintaining proper chemical levels in the pool
• Properly marking depths
• And more

If your pool injury was due to a property owner’s negligence, you need to enlist the help of a swimming pool accident lawyer who can help you decide your next steps. However, it’s important to choose the right attorney. Pool accident claims can be very difficult to litigate, and negligence may be difficult to prove.

That’s why you should look for an attorney who has handled cases similar to yours and who has extensive experience with personal injury cases in the state where your accident occurred.
