If you’re looking for a Mobile swimming pool accident lawyer after an injury or drowning, Morris, Andrews, Talmadge & Driggers, LLC can step in to investigate what happened and protect your rights while you and your loved ones heal.
Many pool accident claims fall under premises liability law. That means the case may focus on whether the property owner, business, or organization failed to keep the pool area reasonably safe or warn people about hidden dangers.
Depending on the specifics of the incident, liable parties may include:
Liability depends on the details of the accident. We will have to consider:
Cases involving children, unsupervised access, or public pools can be especially complex. Our knowledgeable pool accident attorneys can evaluate the details of your claim, determine liability, and discuss your options for recovery with you.
In most Alabama personal injury cases, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (Alabama Code § 6-2-38). If a pool accident causes a loved one’s death, Alabama law generally gives their personal representative two years from the date of their passing to file a wrongful death lawsuit (§ 6-5-410).
Some cases have shorter notice requirements. For example, claims involving a city or county pool may require written notice much earlier than the general lawsuit deadline. If the accident happened at a public pool, school, park, or government-run facility, speak with our experienced swimming pool injury attorneys as soon as possible.
Deadlines aren’t the only reason to act quickly. Evidence like maintenance logs, inspection reports, surveillance footage, and witness accounts can become harder to obtain as time passes.
Many pool accidents are preventable. They happen because someone failed to supervise, repair, inspect, warn, or follow basic safety practices. And that makes it even more important to seek justice for the devastated families left in the wake.
Common causes of swimming pool injuries include:
These accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, including:
Severe pool injuries can bring enormous medical bills, long-term care needs, lost income, and lasting pain, all of which can change your family’s way of life and future. Accountability is about more than blame. It’s about helping injured people get the support they need and pushing property owners, companies, and organizations to take safety seriously before another family is harmed.
Drowning is one of the most serious risks connected to swimming pools, especially for young children. According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4. For children ages 5 to 14, it’s the second-leading cause of unintentional injury death after motor vehicle crashes.
The CDC also estimates that there are about 4,000 fatal unintentional drownings and about 8,000 nonfatal drownings every year in the United States. Nonfatal drowning can still cause severe, long-term harm, including brain damage and permanent disability.
Pool and spa incidents are a major part of the problem. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that from 2020 to 2022, an average of 357 children under age 15 fatally drowned in pool- or spa-related incidents each year. Children ages 1 to 3 accounted for most of those reported deaths. From 2022 through 2024, an average of 6,275 children under 15 were treated in emergency departments each year for nonfatal pool or spa drowning injuries.
These numbers are painful because so many pool accidents are preventable. Proper barriers, responsible supervision, safe maintenance, trained staff, and swift emergency response can save lives.
