Swimming Pool Accidents
The CDC reports that nearly 3,500 people died as a result of unintentional drowning in 2007. During that same time period, thousands more suffered submersion injuries requiring medical care. Tragically, one in five fatal drowning victims was 14 or younger.
Swimming pool accidents are a significant cause of unintentional drowning and submersion injuries. Swimming pool accidents occur in a number of locations, including apartment buildings, residential homes and hotels. In many cases, swimming pool accidents could have been prevented with proper care. Common causes of pool accidents include:
- Lack of fencing or proper barriers
- Failed or broken door latches
- Dangerous pool design or equipment
- Too many people in a pool
- Slippery surfaces
- Other forms of property owner negligence
