POOLTIME AND WATER FUN MAY LEAD TO VERY SERIOUS INJURIES—CALL EXPERIENCED PASADENA PERSONAL INJURY LAW FIRM FOR FREE CONSULTATION (Part 1 of 2)

The summertime heat may mean that more kids are doing water activities or spending time around the pool at school, day care and at home. However, children’s activities around water may be very dangerous and can lead to serious injuries and even death. If children are at school, summer camp, or a day care, then these facilities are likely responsible for the care of your children and their safety, particularly around pools, lakes or the ocean. If these caretakers fail to properly supervise your child, then you may have a negligence civil lawsuit on your hands—call Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free consultation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were on average 10 drownings per day in 2005 in the United States. Approximately 25% of the drowning victims were under the age of 14, and for each child who died as a result of drowning, another four received emergency medical care for nonfatal submersion injuries. Males are four times more likely than females to die from unintentional drowning. Small children may be particularly susceptible to drowning because they may even drown in a small pool of sedentary water (bucket, toilet, etc.) in addition to large water areas.
