Drain Entrapment

Swimming pool drains are supposed to filter the water of a pool and work it through its pump system. However, there are many instances of these drains trapping people underwater, which can result in severe injury. If you or a loved one has been injured in a drain entrapment accident, contact us to set up a free consultation and assess your case to see if you can be compensated for the consequences of their negligence.

Drain entrapment is ultimately caused by the suction force of the drain. It must be strong enough to capture all dirt and debris within the pool, so it should have a cover over it to prevent excessive force.  These types of accidents can cause loss of limbs, injury to limbs, amputation, or even drowning and disembowelment.

When there is no cover or the drain is older and not properly maintained or inspected, the pool owner may be found liable for negligence under premises liability laws. The owner’s job is to maintain a safe property by regularly checking every aspect of the property, especially things like a pool drain, which are dangerous and have caused countless accidents in the past. If the drain is defective in itself and has an excessive suction force to begin with, the manufacturer of the drain may be found liable for negligence under product liability laws.
