At Schlacter Law, we fight to recover compensation for victims of drowning accidents. Our clients have access to an experienced Miami swimming pool accident lawyer and communication in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Creole, Hebrew, and Russian.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN FLORIDA

Year after year, Florida continues to be one of the worst states for unintentional drowning in children and it is the leading cause of death of young children in Florida. In 2000, the Florida Legislator passed Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, which imposed safety restrictions in Florida pools, spas, and hot tubs built after October 1, 2000. Property owners, hotels, and apartment complexes with pools or beach access must exercise reasonable care to avoid risk of harm to individuals from drowning.

Drowning accidents can occur from:

• Defective safety equipment
• Lack of safety equipment
• Failure to warn and supervise dangerous conditions
• Lack of fencing
• Failure to maintain the property

Injuries resulting from a drowning or near-drowning accident can be catastrophic. If proper safety measures were not in place, or if the landowner failed to exercise reasonable care, they may be liable for your injuries.
