Am I eligible for compensation following a pool accident?
If you have been injured in a swimming pool that you believe was caused by the pool owner’s negligence, you may be seeking financial compensation. To file a successful personal injury claim, you will first need to retain the services of an experienced attorney who will work to prove negligence in a premises liability claim. To do this, your attorney will work to prove that the accident was a direct result of the pool owner’s failure to ensure the lawful standard of care and safety. This will be completed by providing evidence to support the claim such as photos of the scene, medical documentation relating to your injuries, witness statements, and more.
