There Are No Accidents: Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable

When a guest — whether an adult or a child — is near a swimming pool, the responsibility for their safety falls squarely on the property owner. An unprotected, unfenced pool, a broken gate latch, or a lack of supervision are not minor oversights, but acts of negligence that create a deadly hazard. In our experience, these tragedies happen because a property owner failed to follow basic, common-sense safety rules and the laws designed to protect our community. Our purpose is to prove this failure and secure justice for your family.

Nevada Law Requires Pool Safety Barriers

To protect children, Nevada and Clark County have enacted specific laws requiring safety barriers around swimming pools. The Clark County building codes mandate that residential swimming pools must be enclosed by a fence or barrier that is at least 4 to 5 feet high, depending on the type. These laws also specify requirements for self-closing and self-latching gates that are out of a small child's reach. When a property owner in Spring Valley fails to comply with these critical safety laws, it is powerful evidence of negligence in a drowning or injury claim.

Common Forms of Negligence Leading to Pool Accidents

These tragedies are almost always preventable. Our investigations focus on identifying the specific failure that led to the incident, which often includes:

• Inadequate or missing fencing around the pool area.
• Broken or defective gates or latches that do not close properly.
• Lack of supervision at a public or community pool.
• Overcrowded pools make it difficult for lifeguards to monitor all swimmers effectively.
• Defective drains with powerful suction that can cause entrapment.
• Cloudy water or poor maintenance that obscures the view of a swimmer in distress.

Seeking Full Compensation for Lifelong Consequences

We fight for a recovery that accounts for the full, catastrophic impact of a pool accident, which can include:

1. In Cases of Wrongful Death

Compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, and the family's immense loss of love and companionship.

2. In Cases of Near-Drowning

Compensation for the lifelong medical care required for an anoxic brain injury, including 24-hour nursing care, occupational and physical therapy, and modifications to your home.

3. In Cases of Serious Falls or Injuries

Compensation for broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries caused by a slip on an unsafe deck or a faulty diving board.

4. Emotional Trauma and Suffering

For both the victim and the family members who witnessed the event.

Unseen Dangers: Why Pool Safety Rules Are Critical

The danger of unprotected pools cannot be overstated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is a leading cause of death for children aged 1 to 4. For every child who dies from drowning, many more suffer non-fatal drowning injuries that can cause severe, permanent brain damage. This data highlights why the safety laws are so critical and why holding negligent property owners accountable is essential for community safety.

Frequently Asked Questions After Pool Accidents

#faqs_start

Who is liable for a drowning accident?

Liability can fall on any party whose negligence caused the accident. This is most often the private homeowner, the landlord of an apartment complex, or the management of a community center or hotel, who failed to secure their pool area or provide adequate supervision.

Can I file a claim if the accident happened at a friend's or neighbor's house?

Yes. This is a complex but necessary step to ensure your child gets the care they need. Like dog bite claims, these cases are almost always made against the property owner's homeowner's insurance policy, which exists to cover these exact situations. You’re not taking money out of your friend’s pockets.

I slipped and fell on a wet, unmarked surface near a community pool and broke my arm. Do I have a claim?

Yes. The property owner or management has a duty to maintain the entire pool area, not just the water. This includes ensuring that pool decks are slip-resistant and that guests are warned of any unusually hazardous wet areas. A fall caused by a poorly maintained or unmarked surface can be a clear case of negligence.
