Swimming pools can be dangerous places, particularly for children. If you were injured or lost a loved one in an accident in or near a swimming pool, a New York injury attorney at Napoli Shkolnik, PLLC may be able to help you. As \u00a0swimming accident attorneys we understand how to handle cases involving swimming pool drownings, near drownings as well as \u00a0other accidents that involve swimming, rafting, canoeing, paddle boarding. We work with all types of injurys surrounding swimming injuries.<\/p>\n
Nearly 10 personas mueren cada d\u00eda en los Estados Unidos<\/a> as the result of unintentional drowning, making it the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. When a swimming accident does not result in drowning\u2014and therefore death\u2014other injury types may occur. Near drowning can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), respiratory distress, hypothermia, damages to internal organs, and more.<\/p>\n Some of the types of swimming pool accident cases we can handle are:<\/p>\n Un accidente en una piscina, desde resbalar en el borde de la piscina hasta casi ahogarse, puede causar lesiones graves. Una v\u00edctima puede sufrir fracturas de huesos, esguinces severos o incluso da\u00f1os en la m\u00e9dula espinal por un Resbalar y caer<\/a>\u00a0accidente en una piscina o parque acu\u00e1tico. Si una v\u00edctima cae al agua y no puede nadar o queda atrapada debajo de una cubierta de piscina o en un desag\u00fce, la v\u00edctima puede ahogarse. Incluso si la v\u00edctima sobrevive, puede sufrir da\u00f1o cerebral permanente como resultado de la falta de ox\u00edgeno en el cerebro. La gravedad de los accidentes de piscina hace que la participaci\u00f3n de un abogado sea esencial.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tr\u00e1gicamente, los que corren mayor riesgo de sufrir un accidente de nataci\u00f3n, ahogarse o casi ahogarse son los ni\u00f1os de uno a cuatro a\u00f1os. Sin embargo, el 20 por ciento de los accidentes por ahogamiento involucran a ni\u00f1os menores de 14 a\u00f1os. Seg\u00fan los Centros para el Control y la Prevenci\u00f3n de Enfermedades de EE. UU., por cada ni\u00f1o que muere ahogado, otros cinco requieren atenci\u00f3n en la sala de emergencias por lesiones no fatales por sumersi\u00f3n. Perder a un hijo en un accidente de nataci\u00f3n es una de las cosas m\u00e1s devastadoras que le pueden pasar a un padre. Si el accidente no hubiera ocurrido de no haber sido por las acciones negligentes del due\u00f1o de la propiedad, entonces la v\u00edctima, o el padre o familiar de una v\u00edctima fallecida, puede presentar una acci\u00f3n civil directamente contra la parte culpable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n La mayor\u00eda de los accidentes de nataci\u00f3n son totalmente prevenibles. La mayor\u00eda de los accidentes de nataci\u00f3n ocurren como resultado de:<\/p>\n Si bien un accidente de nataci\u00f3n puede no ser intencional, si el accidente fue causado por la acci\u00f3n negligente de otra parte, como no mantener una propiedad en condiciones seguras o cercar una piscina, entonces esa parte puede ser responsable de todos los da\u00f1os.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When a swimming pool accident occurs, it will be necessary to determine what caused the accident and therefore who may be held legally responsible. A thorough investigation, including a review of all physical evidence, witness accounts, police reports (if any) and more can help our attorneys and investigators understand what occurred. We will then work to paint a clear picture of what factors caused the incident so we can build a compelling case against the at-fault party.<\/p>\n Liability may lie with a property owner or pool operator for failing to provide a safe environment at a pool. It may also lie with the manufacturer of a pool drain, fence or gate that is poorly designed or malfunctions due to a manufacturing defect. Because every case is different, our team works diligently to ascertain what caused a client\u2019s injuries or loss and to then prove this in negotiations or litigation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your accident may have occurred at a public pool or at a private home. If it occurred at any type of public place, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA) may apply. This federal law requires public pools to maintain certain safety standards when it comes to drains and drainage systems, to prevent drain entrapment and drowning. Owners and operators of public pools may be held to a higher standard of liability when it comes to accidents at their pools, including proper fencing and lifeguards.<\/p>\n If the accident occurred on private property, such as your own home or the home of a friend or family member, there may be various issues to take into account when it comes to liability for the accident. You may have properly fenced your pool, for example, but if the fence was defective or was not properly installed and a drowning or near-drowning occurred as a result, the company that manufactured and\/or installed the fence may be accountable. Our attorneys will look at all possible options to see may apply in your case.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n En Napoli Shkolnik, PLLC, nuestros abogados pueden ayudarlo a probar negligencia y recuperar la totalidad de los da\u00f1os a los que tiene derecho.
