Slip And Fall At A Swimming Pool Injury Lawsuit Attorney

A swimming pool should be a place to have fun and cool off from the hot California sun. But all the excitement and enjoyment can disappear in a second when you are the victim of a slip and fall injury at a hotel, AIRBNB, motel, city, or private pool. Of course, you are prepared for wet conditions around a pool containing thousands of gallons of water. But there are occasions when proper safety precautions were not taken to ensure that everyone enjoying a dip in the pool would be safe from slip and fall safety hazards. If you or a loved one have been the victim of a slip and fall injury in or near a swimming pool, the expert swimming pool slip and fall injury attorneys at Kenmore Law Group are here to help you protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Common Causes Of Slip And Fall Injuries In Or Around Swimming Pools
Sadly, slip and fall injuries are common around swimming pools due to the moist conditions. That is part of the reason for the signage forbidding running on the pool decking. However, there are times when the safety hazards are significantly increased due to the property owner’s negligence or breach of duty. And these are the times when slip and fall injury victims need to contact the legal team at Kenmore Law Group to better understand their right to compensation for their injuries and losses.

Some of the common issues that contribute to safety hazards around a swimming pool include:

• Improper drainage on the pool decking or no drainage causes water to puddle on the deck, creating a severe safety concern
• Obstructions in the pool deck or damage to the pool deck can create a slip and fall hazard
• Improper deck finishes that are slippery rather than textured to add grip in wet conditions
• Damaged or broken pool steps or ladders that create a slip and fall hazard
• Spilled sunscreen or other oil-based product that creates a slick deck surface and increases the potential for a slip and fall accident

These are just some of the hazards that could contribute to a severe injury from a slip and fall accident on pool decking or into a swimming pool. In most cases, these issues are not due to the negligence of the injury victim but instead to another party who should be held responsible for the hazard they created and the injuries the danger caused.

Injuries At Hotel, Motel, Or Public Pools
In most cases, a pool open to the public, such as a city pool or pools at hotels and motels, has a great deal of signage related to the rules and safety of patrons. These rules include no running or carelessly jumping into the pool. However, the property owners might also be contributing to the safety hazards at the pool. So it is vital for any slip and fall injury victim to consult with the pool slip and fall injury attorneys at Kenmore Law Group.

Our experts will help you understand how premise liability can impact your ability to file a claim against the property and pool owner where you were injured. While it can be intimidating to think about bringing a lawsuit against a major hotel chain, the owner of an AIRBNB, or even your local city pool, the team at Kenmore Law Group is well prepared for the task. We have decades of combined experience in protecting the rights of swimming pool slip and fall injury victims just like yourself. And we will not give up until we have secured the compensation you are owed for your injuries and losses.
Were You Injured At A Private Pool?
You are sure to notice that your friends and neighbors do not have the same safety signs posted around the swimming pools in their backyards that are seen as hotels and public pools. But you need to understand that the owner of a private pool has the same duty of care to guests as a commercial property. They are not required to install safety signs. Still, they are responsible for providing the same level of care and safety conditions around the pool as a hotel or commercial pool facility.

So just because you were injured at a pool in someone’s backyard does not mean you are responsible for paying your medical bills due to a slip and fall pool injury. The homeowner still has a duty of care that includes taking all the precautions any prudent person would take in maintaining their pool and the area around it. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with the slip and fall injury experts at Kenmore Law Group to discuss your injuries and the incident at the private pool which resulted in your injuries. In many instances, the property owner will be liable for your injuries and, therefore, also financially responsible for your medical bills and other losses.
Understanding The Importance Of The Statute Of Limitations
In the State of California, most injury victims have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim in the court system. However, that applies only to private defendants. In the case of a slip and fall injury at a city-owned swimming pool or a pool owned by another government entity, you have only six months to make a claim. So it is crucial to contact the team at Kenmore Law Group as soon as you can discuss your accident and begin planning for your future and a possible lawsuit to recover damages due to the slip and fall injuries and losses.
Common Injuries From A Swimming Pool Slip And Fall Incident
Unfortunately, many of the injuries resulting from a slip and fall in or near a swimming pool are very severe. The pool’s concrete shell and the concrete or other paving surfaces used to create pool decks can also inflict massive injuries, some of which are life-threatening. The injuries most common to slip and fall victims near a pool include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Dislocated joints
• Severe sprains, strains, or soft tissue tears
• Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
• Concussions, skull fractures, and other traumatic brain injuries
• Severe lacerations
• Internal injuries

It is vital for anyone who has suffered a slip and fall at a pool to seek a complete medical evaluation immediately. Some injuries can be masked by shock and adrenaline from the fall. Only with a medical evaluation will the injury be immediately discovered and treated. Head trauma is especially hazardous and can result in memory loss, balance issues, and loss of mobility if not properly treated immediately after the impact.
The Possible Value Of A Swimming Pool Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit
Each injury lawsuit is different, and so is the amount of the compensation claim. Your Kenmore Law Group attorney will help you understand which expenses and losses can be part of your compensation claim. The most common items included in a slip and fall injury claim include:

• Your medical bills to treat the injuries
• Any lost wages if you are unable to return to work during your recovery
• Your legal expenses for the case

In addition, you can request an amount for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result of the injuries and healing process.

How Long Will I Need To Wait For Compensation?
Much like the dollar amount of the compensation, there is no way to predict the time needed for your case to be completed. The court system’s workload, the defendant’s reaction, and the time needed for your recovery will all impact the time required to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
