Defective Swimming Pool
Many people love the relaxation that comes with laying poolside and taking a dip in the hot summer days. But, we rarely consider the risks that may accompany such a seemingly harmless activity. Swimming pools can be defective if not maintained and inspected properly. This can cause serious injury to its users. If you or a loved one has been injured in a swimming pool accident due to defective parts of the pool, contact us for a free consultation and we can evaluate your case to see if the pool owner can be sued for negligence under premises liability laws.
One defect that a swimming pool may have is a defective drain. Their suction can be so powerful that it can trap a person underwater, which could result in a variety of injuries, from amputation to drowning. Also, defective gates which fail to ensure that people cannot enter the pool when it is closed and without supervision can cause injury. Lack of warning signs, such as for wet surfaces or water depths, also pose a risk since they do not warn those using the pool of potential dangers. Lack of proper supervision of lifeguards also means that potential accidents cannot be prevented. All of these defects are heightened in risk when it comes to children. A defect may be traced back to the negligence of the pool owner if they improperly maintain their pool and its inspections.
Product manufacturers making defective pool products could also result in a product liability claim. They should have the duty of ensuring the safety of their products before they are released to the public. When they fail to do so and their products cause injury, for instance, if a pool drain caused a person’s foot to be amputated due to an inherent flaw in the drain’s design, the drain’s product manufacturer could be found liable for negligence.
