Drowning
In the heat of the Houston summer, a dip in the swimming pool offers fun and relief from high temperatures for both children and adults. Frequently, the time that young children spend in and around the swimming pool forms the basis of some of the fondest memories of childhood. But the fact remains that there is a constant risk of drowning that can turn a fun outing into a life-altering tragedy in a matter of only a few moments.
If you have tragically lost a loved one due to a swimming pool owner’s negligence, then you may be able to file a legal action seeking financial compensation to address funeral expenses and other ongoing needs.

Sources of Swimming Pool Danger
Under premises liability law, the owner of the property where the swimming pool is located is legally liable for injuries that befall guests and visitors. Accordingly, one would expect that swimming pool owners would be especially inclined to vigilant oversight of pool safety. Sadly, this is not always the case. Sources of swimming pool danger that can lead to drowning include:
- Lack of supervision
- Excessive pool drain suction
- Lack of swimming pool covers
- Lack of fencing and security gate
- Diving board injuries (head trauma)
