Drowning Accidents
There is another form of drowning which is dry drowning. Dry drowning, on the other hand, occurs when a person is submerged in icy water. The cold is said to cause the larynx to spasm. If the larynx spasms, the person’s airway is cut off resulting in lack or absence of oxygen in the body.
If you or any of your family member suffered from near drowning or drowns as a result of negligence by another person, contact an attorney.
Pool owners and operators are financially and legally liable for drowning injuries and deaths that happen as a result of code and safety violations. While each municipality is different, pool owners are typically required to secure their pool with fencing, locks, and lighting that meets specific code requirements. Pool operators are also required to provide a life guard at certain times and to secure their premises as well. Additionally, boat owners and operators are also liable for drowning injuries that occur due to a lack of life vests, boating under the influence, or lack of life preservers.
No one plans on being injured in an accident, whether it is a car accident, a fall down, or other injury caused by negligence. Speak with a personal injury attorney immediately to retain all your rights. Businesses are responsible for the maintenance of their premises. It is the duty of the site manager to inspect and keep the property in a safe condition and free from any and all pitfalls, obstacles or traps that would likely cause injury to workers and persons lawfully thereon. If there is negligence, the careless party could be liable for the injuries caused.
