Swimming Pool Injury & Drowning Accidents

According to the Center for Disease Control, thousands of people die every year from unintentional drowning events.  One in four fatal drowning victim is a child under the age of 14.  Most of these drownings occur due to lack of proper barriers and inadequate supervision. 

Non-fatal drownings also occur at an alarmingly high rate.  Nonfatal drownings can cause brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities including memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of basic functioning (i.e., permanent vegetative state).

Serious injuries can also occur while diving into swimming pools or natural bodies of water.  Most diving accidents cause injury, often times severe, to the spine.  Paralysis and other neurological injuries are common.
