Statistics from the Center for Disease Control ("CDC") indicate that there were over three thousand three hundred (3,300) drowning accidents from submersion in water, in the year 2000.

The drowning rate for children under sixteen (16) was alarming and was actually twenty five (25%) percent of the total of all drowning accident deaths in the United States. According to the CDC, approximately three hundred and fifty (350) children five (5) years of age and under, suffer death from swimming pool drowning accidents every year. Drowning injury, such as death and coma, is the second highest cause of drowning wrongful death for the children five (5) years and under age group. Automobile and truck accidents are the second highest cause of death accident in this age group.

Our local Orange County & Los Angeles swimming pool accident attorney, Los Angeles personal injury attorney, Michael P. Ehline, warns that this is a staggering statistic that cannot be ignored by a caring parent or property owner with a Jacuzzi hot tub, Jacuzzi bathtub, Whirlpool* hot tub, lap pool, or swimming pool. In fact, our swimming pool lawyer research statistics show that as of 2000, over two thousand, six hundred (2,600) small children are admitted to emergency care in hospitals, and treated for drowning incidents, like coma, brain injury, broken bones and contusions related to drowning incident accidents.

At least five thousand (5,000) additional small children suffer permanent injury like nerve damages requiring future medical care and treatment and expensive in house care or hospitalization for the permanent neurological disability. Most drowning injury occurs in backyard Jacuzzi hot tub, Whirlpools, other hot tubs, spas and other types of recreating water tubs like swimming pools, including shallow lap pools, for example.

Land owners with pools and exposed or open Jacuzzi hot tubs, generic hot tubs, Whirlpool hot tubs in their back yard are usually mandated by California law to fence the area surrounding the pool and to have special child proof gates and access areas.

Some Cities and Counties Require:

*Five (5) Foot or Higher Fences;

*Gates with Building and Safety Code Certified Safety Latches;

Our Los Angeles and Orange County Swimming Pool Attorneys Declare that A Reasonable Pool and Jacuzzi Hot Tub Owner Should Also Install and Maintain:

*Infra Red Motion Detectors;

*Snug Pool Covers Children Cannot Sink Underneath;

*Closed Circuit Camera Systems in Their Recreational Pool Areas.

Swimming pool and Jacuzzi hot tub accidents also include slip and fall on a slippery and slimy pool decking surface, that was not properly cleaned and/or scrubbed which can easily cause a broken bone orthopedic injury. All of these premises liability injuries are complex and difficult to litigate. They are also very emotional, requiring a level headed swimming pool injury attorney to give a degree of separation between emotional parents and loved ones, and the tort wrongdoer, property owner. Issues like negligence per se, for violation building and safety code sections, must be expertly explored as well. Getting a judgment for negligence in California courts often requires safety experts, accident re-constructionists, forensic experts and excellent swimming pool injury lawyers. This can be expensive and that is why the Law Offices of Michael P. Ehline, P.C., works on a contingency fee and advances all costs.
