SWIMMING POOL ACCIDENT INJURY PREVENTABLE – COMPENSATION LAWYERS
The Rochlin Law Firm represents people who are injured in a swimming pool accident. First, we make sure our clients receive compensation to pay for medical bills, lost wages, and more. For example, our lawyers have represented people injured on a swimming pool slide. We have had cases where the slide was defective, and our client was cut coming down. Also, there are cases at the pool where the water slide was not properly supervised, and one person ran into the next.
Unfortunately, there are tragic cases every year where a child is not watched and drowns in a swimming pool. In one tragic case from several years ago, an Edina girl was severely injured because of a defective water filtration device that was not properly attended to a vent.
All of these swimming pool accidents could have been prevented and the injury avoided. Our accident injury lawyers take these cases throughout MN. We make sure our clients are fairly compensated after a preventable swimming pool accident. The Consumer Product Safety Commission puts out some great information about pool safety. Here are some of the tips we got off of their web site:
