Drowning is a leading cause of death for young children in the state of Florida.

Thousands of children have suffered serious brain damage or death due to defective pool gates, defective pool pumps, drains and other dangerous pool products.

Accidents involving pools typically involve serious personal injuries and death. You may have to pursue a premises liability claim against a negligent pool owner for not safety maintaining the pool or the surrounding premises, or for not following ordinances or regulations.

You may also be able to file a Product Liability suit against a manufacturer or designer of a pool or any specific part of the pool or spa. Several faulty pool and spa drain covers have been recalled due to their contribution to body entrapment causing serious injuries and death.

Drowning accidents need not to be fatal in order to be life altering. Non-fatal drowning commonly causes brain damage, developmental disabilities and memory problems. Vaka, Larson and Johnson P.L. has the experience and insight to effectively investigate and pursue these claims.
