Swimming Pool Accidents

Santa Clara County Attorneys for Swimming Pool Injuries

Pool Any person or organization that owns or operates a swimming pool ought to, and is legally required to take all reasonable measures to avoid the risk of drowning and other serious injuries. When they fail to do so, they can and should be held accountable.

Notable Case Results: $1.5 million for a family who lost their beloved son in a tragic drowning accident against a government entity who was alleged to be negligent in conjunction with the operation of a public swimming pool.

Determining Whether the Owner or Operator Took Appropriate Pool Safety Measures

While swimming is an inherently risky activity, property owners and other parties still have a responsibility to prevent swimming pool accidents. There are many things that can be done to reduce the risks of drowning, including:

  • Full removal of pool covers when pools are in use
  • Attachment of safety guards to suction devices
  • Posting of accurate signs about pool depth
  • Appropriate warnings when no lifeguard is available

When a school, athletic club, public authority or other swimming pool operator fails to take reasonable safety measures to avoid accidents, it may be possible to bring a personal injury claim against it under premises liability law or another legal theory.

I absolutely cannot speak highly enough of CMA Law, particularly of Mr. McMahon, with whom I have had the most experience. My entire family and I trusted CMA with our case following a significant and life-altering vehicle accident, and to say they delivered is putting it lightly. They were reachable & personable at every stage of this arduous, complex, and scary process, made things easier at every stage, inspired us with confidence, and delivered results. If you're looking for a law firm to place the trust of you in your family in, look absolutely no further than CMA - this is your firm. Declan O.

I suffered a severe spinal injury while working as a farm mechanic in the Salinas Valley. The attorneys -Tim McMahon and Mark Sigala were fantastic from the beginning. They fought for me over 3 long years and in the end, we won a difficult liability case against the farm company who was using dangerous equipment. The defendants in the case tried everything to put the blame on me and even claimed I was their employee in order to avoid civil responsibility. Tim and Mark never gave up on me and my case. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are fighters. Adrian A.
