No matter how the drowning or near-drowning accident occurred, our attorneys can help you assemble and prove negligence and premises liability in your case. We have helped families and victims with all types of drowning accident cases involving:

  • Boating accidents
  • Pool incidents involving inadequate supervision or no notice that there was no lifeguard on duty
  • Diving board accidents
  • Drowning accidents caused by medical conditions or medication reactions
  • Safety at state park water landmarks where an area is not properly roped off or guarded
  • Cruise ship incidents that may involve people going overboard
  • Water quality issues such as toxins, vegetation leading to entanglement

Many of these types of accidents may lead to wrongful death or serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
