Am I eligible for compensation following a pool accident?
To learn if you are eligible for compensation after being injured in a swimming pool accident, you should first reach out to an experienced personal injury attorney. To file a successful claim, your attorney will work to prove negligence in a premises liability claim. To do so, your attorney will have to prove that the accident was a direct result of the pool owner’s failure to ensure the lawful standard of care and safety. To back this claim, your attorney will recover evidence such as photos and videos of the scene of your accident, medical documentation relating to your treatment after your injuries were sustained, and witness statements from those who saw your accident occur.
