Negligent Lifeguards

We all trust lifeguards to, quite literally, guard our lives as well as those of our loved ones when we are in the pool or at the beach. They should be trained and tested in order to prove that they are capable of protecting people when needed. When they fail to uphold their duties, injuries and even deaths can result. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident that could have been prevented had it not been for a negligent lifeguard, you may consider filing a premises liability lawsuit.

Becoming a lifeguard requires one to be certified by a qualified and credible entity, such as the YMCA. If a lifeguard is hired without this certification or after failing to obtain this after attempting, the property owner has acted negligently in employing unqualified staff to protect and ensure the safety of its pool-goers.

It is also the duty of the lifeguard to be alert and scanning the premises at all times – that is their job while they are on the clock. Further, they should be knowledgeable enough to implement their training and CPR techniques to go about intervening in an accident. If a lifeguard is negligent by being distracted, slow, or hesitant and fails to catch an accident as it is happening, they may be liable for the resulting injuries that occur. It can result in severe medical conditions and costs that could have been avoided, had they been doing their duty.

In negligent lifeguard cases, you may be able to sue the lifeguard responsible as well as the pool owner for their negligent hiring of an unqualified lifeguard. Speaking with one of our attorneys will clarify this issue for you.
