Swimming pools can be dangerous places, particularly for children. If you were injured or lost a loved one in an accident in or near a swimming pool, a New York injury attorney at Napoli Shkolnik, PLLC may be able to help you. As \u00a0swimming accident attorneys we understand how to handle cases involving swimming pool drownings, near drownings as well as \u00a0other accidents that involve swimming, rafting, canoeing, paddle boarding. We work with all types of injurys surrounding swimming injuries.<\/p>\n
Nearly 10 personnes meurent chaque jour aux \u00c9tats-Unis<\/a> as the result of unintentional drowning, making it the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. When a swimming accident does not result in drowning\u2014and therefore death\u2014other injury types may occur. Near drowning can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), respiratory distress, hypothermia, damages to internal organs, and more.<\/p>\n Some of the types of swimming pool accident cases we can handle are:<\/p>\n Un accident de piscine, qu'il s'agisse d'une glissade au bord d'une piscine ou d'une quasi-noyade, peut entra\u00eener des blessures graves. Une victime peut souffrir de fractures, d'entorses graves ou m\u00eame de l\u00e9sions de la moelle \u00e9pini\u00e8re caus\u00e9es par un glisser et tomber<\/a>\u00a0accident \u00e0 la piscine ou au parc aquatique. Si une victime tombe \u00e0 l'eau et ne sait pas nager ou est prise sous une b\u00e2che de piscine ou dans un \u00e9gout, elle peut se noyer. M\u00eame si la victime survit, elle peut souffrir de l\u00e9sions c\u00e9r\u00e9brales permanentes en raison d'un manque d'oxyg\u00e8ne au cerveau. La gravit\u00e9 des accidents de piscine rend l'intervention d'un avocat indispensable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tragiquement, ceux qui risquent le plus d'\u00eatre victimes d'un accident de baignade, de se noyer ou de se noyer presque sont les enfants \u00e2g\u00e9s de un \u00e0 quatre ans. Cependant, 20% des accidents de noyade impliquent des enfants de moins de 14 ans. Selon les Centers for Disease Control and Prevention des \u00c9tats-Unis, pour chaque enfant qui meurt de noyade, cinq autres n\u00e9cessitent des soins aux urgences pour des blessures non mortelles par submersion. Perdre un enfant dans un accident de natation est l'une des choses les plus d\u00e9vastatrices qui puissent arriver \u00e0 un parent. Si l'accident n'aurait pas eu lieu sans les actions n\u00e9gligentes d'un propri\u00e9taire, alors une victime - ou un parent ou un membre de la famille d'une victime d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e - peut intenter une action civile directement contre la partie responsable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n La plupart des accidents de baignade sont enti\u00e8rement \u00e9vitables. La majorit\u00e9 des accidents de baignade surviennent suite \u00e0 :<\/p>\n Bien qu'un accident de baignade puisse \u00eatre involontaire, si l'accident a \u00e9t\u00e9 caus\u00e9 par la n\u00e9gligence d'une autre partie, comme ne pas maintenir une propri\u00e9t\u00e9 dans un \u00e9tat s\u00fbr ou cl\u00f4turer une piscine, cette partie peut \u00eatre tenue responsable de tous les dommages.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When a swimming pool accident occurs, it will be necessary to determine what caused the accident and therefore who may be held legally responsible. A thorough investigation, including a review of all physical evidence, witness accounts, police reports (if any) and more can help our attorneys and investigators understand what occurred. We will then work to paint a clear picture of what factors caused the incident so we can build a compelling case against the at-fault party.<\/p>\n Liability may lie with a property owner or pool operator for failing to provide a safe environment at a pool. It may also lie with the manufacturer of a pool drain, fence or gate that is poorly designed or malfunctions due to a manufacturing defect. Because every case is different, our team works diligently to ascertain what caused a client\u2019s injuries or loss and to then prove this in negotiations or litigation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your accident may have occurred at a public pool or at a private home. If it occurred at any type of public place, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA) may apply. This federal law requires public pools to maintain certain safety standards when it comes to drains and drainage systems, to prevent drain entrapment and drowning. Owners and operators of public pools may be held to a higher standard of liability when it comes to accidents at their pools, including proper fencing and lifeguards.<\/p>\n If the accident occurred on private property, such as your own home or the home of a friend or family member, there may be various issues to take into account when it comes to liability for the accident. You may have properly fenced your pool, for example, but if the fence was defective or was not properly installed and a drowning or near-drowning occurred as a result, the company that manufactured and\/or installed the fence may be accountable. Our attorneys will look at all possible options to see may apply in your case.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chez Napoli Shkolnik, PLLC, nos avocats peuvent vous aider \u00e0 prouver la n\u00e9gligence et \u00e0 recouvrer l'int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 des dommages auxquels vous avez droit.
