Ocala Swimming Pool Accident Lawyers
Falls on slippery pool decks break bones. Drownings can occur in just minutes, even in shallow water. Those rescued from a near-drowning may be left with permanent brain damage. Property owners often try to have it both ways, advertising their swimming pools as an amenity but deflecting any responsibility for injury or death. That’s when you need experienced Ocala swimming pool accident lawyers on your side.

ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE AND OTHER NEGLIGENCE
Florida law has strict safety codes relating to residential swimming pools and commercial properties with pools, regulating enclosures, warnings and other aspects. Swimming pools are an attractive nuisance — a young child may enter a ground floor hotel pool or a backyard pool when the gate or door is left open and there is no lifeguard or attendant. Homeowners and other property owners are also liable for negligent supervision, such as failing to sit poolside as kids are swimming or allowing swimmers to engage in dangerous conduct.
In other cases, the pool itself may be inherently dangerous — no drain cover, unreasonably slippery tiles, improper depth markings, lack of signage, broken slides. Our attorneys know the law and how to conduct a proper investigation that shows code violations or neglected maintenance. We are skilled at overcoming signed waivers or disclaimers such as “No lifeguard on duty” when the property owner’s negligence contributed to the accident.
