Why To Hire An Attorney After A Drowning Or Near Drowning Incident

As experienced Arizona personal injury attorneys, we understand that not every drowning or near drowning incident is the fault of another person. Many times, the person who drowned may have been negligent, and responsible for the tragedy. In saying this, we wish not to put the blame on the victim but rather to point out that not every tragedy should result in a lawsuit.

There are, however, those cases where the law supports the victim and the victim's family members. There are a number of common cases in which an Arizona lawyer with experience litigating personal injury and wrongful death cases can help after such a tragedy.

Types of Drowning Accidents in Arizona

In the state of Arizona, one of the more common and preventable types of drowning involve children that go to neighborhood pools where often the lack of supervision or proper security lead to a tragic outcome.

Pools open to the public that lack a well-trained lifeguard, or any lifeguard in some cases, also lead to otherwise preventable tragedies.

Another common occurrence happens when people drink on boats and are then involved in accidents in which the lack of life jackets on the boat may lead to a drowning. In many of these types of boating accidents that lead to someone drowning, family members have the right to file a legal claim for damages.

Your Legal Rights in Arizona

Following a Drowning or Near Drowning Accident

Those who operate public pools, and those who own pools, have certain safety regulations, codes, and laws they are required to follow for the safety of others. When these laws are not followed, and people drown - tragically and far too often children - there is an accountability that must be faced up to by the negligent party.

Certainly, it is easiest to simply blame the victim of drowning. But when a victim is child, can the child really be blamed? Also, many will raise the point that a lawsuit after an Arizona drowning accident will accomplish nothing. Well, that is highly questionable. First, if the lawsuit can serve as a deterrent to others and prevent them from negligently operating their pools, that in and of itself can save lives. The publicity that comes from drowning verdicts can further be a deterrent and a reminder to pool operators and that can save lives. Moreover, for the family that has been torn apart by a drowning tragedy, having some measure of justice may accomplish something very real to allow that family to move on in whatever different way it is going to be able to move forward. Certainly nothing can undo the horrendous tragedy, but some justice may be of some well-deserved consolation to the surviving family members.

If you or anybody you know has questions about the legal process involved after a drowning or near drowning incident, please do not hesitate to call The Breyer Law Offices at 602-978-6400. We will be happy to provide you the answers that you need so that you can decide whether it is, or is not, in the best interest of the family to move forward with litigation. However, you deserve honest answers before making that decision.
