With Florida’s warm climate, swimming pools are everywhere in Orlando—from hotels and resorts to apartment complexes and private homes. While pools offer relaxation and fun, they also present serious dangers when not properly maintained or supervised. Drowning, near-drowning incidents, slip and fall injuries on slick pool decks, and electrocution from faulty wiring are among the leading causes of swimming pool-related injuries.
Property owners and managers have a duty to ensure pools are safe for guests. This includes fencing, working gates, warning signs, lifeguards where appropriate, and regular inspections. When they fail in these responsibilities, tragedy can strike. For families, the loss or injury of a loved one due to a preventable accident is devastating.
One DDRB Lawyers client shared that after their child nearly drowned in a hotel pool, the attorneys “handled every detail with care and secured the resources needed for long-term medical support.” These reviews reinforce the firm’s reputation for fighting aggressively while showing true compassion.
In swimming pool accident claims, attorneys often investigate whether safety codes were ignored, whether equipment was defective, or if lifeguards were untrained. Expert testimony can be critical in establishing fault. Beyond medical bills, claims may seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and long-term care needs.
Legal action in these cases also promotes greater public safety. Holding negligent property owners accountable ensures better safety standards for Orlando residents and visitors alike.
