Effects Of Water-Related Injuries

While many injuries that happen at pools and water parks are nothing more than a simple scrape after a fall or a short coughing fit after accidentally inhaling a bit of water, there are unfortunately many injuries that have lasting effects on those injured, their loved ones, and others. In some cases of slipping and falling or other accidents, there can be broken bones, stitches needed, or hospital bills to consider. In the cases of drowning or near drowning, many have resulted in brain damage, learning problems, paralysis, and more. Many of these effects could be avoided if parks and pools take proper steps to keep their patrons safe. If you have been injured during your time at a pool or water park, you may be entitled to take action in a personal injury case.

Safety Factors That May Have Been Overlooked

There are many requirements for those that operate public water parks and pools, and if these requirements aren’t met, it can often lead to injuries, fines, and lawsuits. Some of the basic requirements can include:

• Protective covering or fencing surrounding pool areas
• Adequate supervision of children playing in and around the pool area
• Warning signs concerning the safety around the pool or the pool’s depth
• Well maintained walkways around the pool
• Properly trained and attentive lifeguards
• Lighting in and around the pool, especially in outdoor or nighttime usage

If any of these items were not present at the time of the injury to you or your loved one, be sure to contact the team at Murphy Falcon & Murphy immediately to discuss your case.
