Pool owners owe all their lawful entrants a duty of reasonable care once they enter the premises – it’s the owner’s responsibility to watch out for their safety. This includes keeping a well lit pool area to prevent accidents from occurring. If you or a loved one was injured in a pool accident due to poor lighting, contact one of our attorneys to evaluate your case to see if the pool owner can be found liable for negligence under premises liability laws.

The lighting of the area is important to any property, but especially in a pool, where there is the already-present risk of water and drowning. Without proper lighting, people will be unable to see their surroundings, what is right in front of them, and in a pool, what is below them. Pools should have overhead lighting as well as lighting at the bottom of the pool to help people to see even more. Poorly lit pools can cause accidents like drowning since lifeguards may be unable to see people struggling in a dark pool. There is also the heightened risk of a slip and fall due to the inability to see what is in front of you. If the pool owner was negligent in managing the property’s lighting, they may be found liable for negligence, and you can receive compensation for any damages that you have suffered as a result.
