How to Prevent Summertime Accidents?


Summer is at full steam with everybody putting on their swimsuits and looking to cool off.    Of course, this is also the time when pool, beach and lake accidents are at their peak.  Whether you’re headed to Coney Island, Brooklyn or The Hamptons on Long Island, it’s worth it to consider how these accidents tend to happen, so you and your family can relax and enjoy your swim.

BROOKLYN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY - SWIMMING ACCIDENTS CAN BE DEADLY 

Mostly there are two types of swimming pool accidents that are quite common and one needs to be cautious about:

  1. Broken Pool Equipment - When a pool is not properly maintained, pool equipment can become a hazard.  Improperly maintained pools are one of the leading causes of drowning accidents.  Ask to see maintenance records.
  2. Negligent Supervision of Children - Poor training of lifeguards and camp counselors who do not know how to properly handle an emergency is glaring hazard.  Before you entrust your children to the supervision of others, ask about training and qualifications.
  3. Overcrowding - Every pool must have posted the maximum amount of people that may use it at one time.  If there are more people than there should be, that’s a red flag.
  4. Inclement Weather - All swimming areas are required to clear swimmers from the water when there is thunder and lightning present. 
If you or a loved one has been injured at a swimming pool, beach or lake, due to negligence, it might be possible to be compensated.  The only way to know for sure if to contact an experienced Brooklyn Personal Injury Attorney, who can investigate the facts of your case and provide you with guidance.  Wittenstein & Wittenstein is the Top New York City Personal Injury Firm, serving Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Manhattan and Long Island for more than 60 years.  Call 718-261-8114 to find out if you have a case for swimming area negligence.

BROOKLYN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY - SWIMMING AREAS CAN BE DANGEROUS OUTSIDE THE WATER, TOO

Flooring near pools is required to be of a type that does not become slippery when wet, that’s why it’s you find yourself wearing your flip flops to the edge of the water.  Of course, those flip flops by the edge of the water can be dangerous, too!  Owners and managers of swimming areas have a duty to keep them safe.  If slippery floors or piles of flip flops cause an injury, they are responsible.
