Understanding Your Drowning Accident Case
Most drowning cases involve the law of premises liability — a type of personal injury claim. Under Colorado’s premises liability law, property owners and tenants can be held legally responsible for accidents that occur when they fail to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition. Like other types of accident claims, drowning and near-drowning accident claims typically go through the insurance companies, and the vast majority of our cases result in insurance settlements without the need to go to trial.
Drowning and near-drowning cases can also involve the law of products liability. For example, if your accident was the result of faulty pool equipment or a dangerous pool toy, the manufacturer of the defective product (and potentially other companies) could be liable without the need to prove negligence. When we investigate your case, we will seek to identify all of the responsible parties so that we can secure maximum compensation for your financial and non-financial losses.

Denver Drowning Accident Attorneys Know Who to Hold Responsible
Drowning accidents at pools and lakes can have tragic consequences. Fatal and near-fatal accidents are far more common than most people realize, and there are numerous hidden safety risks that can make public and private pools and natural bodies of water unreasonably dangerous for children and adults. With proper maintenance and concern for safety, most drowning accidents are preventable. As a result, when these accidents happen, there is usually someone who can – and should – be held legally accountable.
