Public pool accidents are all too common, especially in Laredo where weather makes swimming a popular activity for much of the year. However, accidents can occur ue to lack of supervision at any pool location. Common swimming pool accidents include

• Accidental drowning
• Diving injuries
• Malfunctioning pool lights
• Slip and fall accidents

And more. Often, pool accidents such as these fall under premises liability law. Premises liability law has various criteria for establishing fault and determining the victims relationship to the property, and hiring a premises liability attorney in Laredo is vital to establishing your claim. During the claim, the victim must prove that they were owed a level of safety from the property owner and that the owner failed to provide that safety.

There are three categories of relationship in a premises liability case.

1. Invitee. This is a person who entered a property with the owner’s explicit or implied knowledge to conduct business for the benefit of both parties. Property owners are required to both warn of potential fangers, and inspect for potential dangers. Often, guests at a pool park or similar public pool would fall into this category.
2. Licensees. This is a person who entered a property with the express permission of the owner for personal benefit. This often applies to house guests and similar situations. The owner of a property is required to warn a guest about all dangers that can be reasonably identified by the owner, but the owner is not legally required to expect the premises for those dangers. Often, swimmers at a private pool or friend’s pool would fall into this category.
3. Trespasser. This category of individual is not owed a guarantee of safety by the property owner outside of gross negligence or intentional harm. There are some exceptions in the cases of children, who cannot recognize potential dangers of certain locations.
