3 Dangers of New Jersey and New York Swimming Pools

Summer time in New York and New Jersey is filled with many seasonal joys that are eagerly awaited and welcomed after cold, snowy winters and gray, rainy springs. For many families, one of those joys is the opening of the backyard pool. Dreams of carefree afternoons spent swimming and fun pool parties are about to come true. That is, of course, unless tragedy strikes and there is a need to call a New York slip and fall attorney after an accident occurs.

How Pools May be Dangerous

Pools can be a lot of fun if their owners take care of them and take the necessary steps to prevent accidents. However, if owners are negligent in the care of the pool or protection of the swimmers in the pool, then they may be liable for damages. Some common types of New York pool accidents include:
  • Drowning accidents
  • Drain accidents
  • Diving board accidents

Often these types of injuries occur because the owner of the pool:
  • Did not properly maintain the pool or follow safety guidelines. For example, if the drain was not working properly or the diving board was over water that was too shallow, then serious injuries or fatalities could result.
  • Did not properly secure the pool area with fencing or other materials designed to keep people away from the pool.
  • Did not properly supervise guests in the pool.

The resulting injuries from these types of accidents may include broken bones, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and death.
