Pool & Premises Liability

Property owners with pools have strict safety obligations under Florida law — barriers, alarms, supervision. When they fail, we pursue the claim.

Supervision Claims

Drowning often results from inadequate supervision at pools, camps, water parks, or on boats. We investigate staff ratios, certifications, and protocols.

💙
Near-Drowning Injuries

Survivors of near-drowning incidents can suffer brain damage, organ damage, and PTSD. We fight for full compensation for these devastating ongoing effects.

Who can be liable for a drowning accident in Florida?
Pool owners, property managers, hotels, water parks, schools, summer camps, boating operators, lifeguards, and their employers can all be potentially liable depending on the circumstances.
What is Florida's pool barrier law?
Florida law requires specific barriers, gates, and alarms around residential swimming pools. Violations of these requirements can establish negligence in a drowning case.
