A day of fun at the pool can end in tragedy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10 people die from accidental drowning every day. And despite safety measures, 88 percent of child drownings happen while supervised by an adult or a certified lifeguard, reports Safe Kids USA.
There are many factors behind accidental drownings and swimming pool injuries, such as:
- Diving board accidents
- Slipping and falling on wet surfaces
- Inadequate fencing around pool areas
- Diving into shallow water
- Inadequate warning signs
- Wrongly placed depth markers
These factors can present a premises liability for property owners who do not provide adequate safety, fencing, supervision or covering of unattended pools.
