Chicago, Illinois Swimming Pool Accident Attorney

Swimming pools are a wonderful diversion in Illinois during the warmer months; however, serious injuries can occur if pools are not operated, secured, or maintained properly. These may include brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death as a result of drowning.

Common causes of Illinois swimming pool accidents include:

• Murky pool water
• Improper pool maintenance
• Improper or defective gates and fences
• Overcrowded swimming facilities
• Distracted in undertrained lifeguards
• Defective swimming pool drains
• Inadequately marked shallow or deep ends
• Slick pool decks

If you or your loved one has suffered a serious personal injury or wrongful death in a swimming pool accident in Illinois, you may be able to seek compensation for your injury or loss while holding any/all wrongdoers accountable. A premises liability lawsuit can be filed if the swimming pool operator did not follow regulations for securing or maintaining the condition of the pool or its surroundings. If a defective swimming pool drain entraps a swimmer or causes disembowelment, the victim or family of the victim may file a products liability lawsuit.

As you can see, there are a number of circumstances that may lead to serious injury or even death in a swimming pool accident. That is why it important to discuss your potential case with a lawyer who can determine if someone else’s negligence caused your pool-related injury or the wrongful death of a loved one.
