Georgia Pool Accident Attorneys

Apartment complexes have an obligation to keep their tenants as safe as possible. Pools and hot tubs are a common apartment amenity that can also be very dangerous.

Apartment Drownings and Deaths

Pools are magnets for small children, especially in the hot weather. Swimming and splashing in a pool are fun things for kids to do and often they don't know to swim with supervision at all times. This means it's up to apartment management to make sure that pools are properly secured with locking gates and sturdy fencing. Children should not be able to access the pool by themselves, even during the winter months when the pool is covered. If a child is easily able to get through a hole in the fence, there is no fence or there is no lock on the gate and they are injured or killed in the pool, the apartment complex may be held liable for damages. If your child has been injured or killed due to a poorly secured pool or hot tub at an apartment complex, give us a call to find out your rights.

Faulty Pool Equipment Injuries

If pool equipment is not regularly maintained and checked, serious consequences can result. For example, sharp objects from a broken piece of equipment or an underwater water drain can snag a swimmer's clothing or hair and hold them underwater. This will cause the swimmer to be trapped underwater leading to drowning or near drowning. Serious side effects such as brain damage can occur when a person is held underwater for too long. Other problems such as a drain or pump with suction that is too strong can hold a small person or child underwater as well. If you or a loved one have experienced injury because of a poorly maintained pool or hot tub, you have a right to compensation.
