Indoor and outdoor pools offer fun, relaxation, and aerobic exercise to many Georgians all year long. The homeowner or property owner of the pool you use is responsible for protecting your safety. If you or a loved one was injured in a swimming pool accident due to negligence, you could be entitled to financial compensation.
If you suffered injuries in a swimming pool accident in Covington, our lawyers will investigate your accident and prove the public or private pool is liable for your medical bills, lost wages, and more. Leave the hard work of building your case to us. At Kaine Law, our Covington personal injury lawyers can build a case while you focus on recovering from your injuries.
Establishing Fault and Liability for a Swimming Pool Accident
As much fun as they are, swimming pools also pose a number of dangers, including slick and slippery decks, bacteria-laden water contamination, and risks of drowning when a lifeguard should be present. To pursue compensation, you have to prove the at-fault party was negligent.
Our personal injury lawyer will prove the home or property owner:
- Duty of care: Someone owed you a duty of care to protect your safety while on their premises.
- Breached of duty: They did not meet their obligation by failing to put appropriate safety measures in place.
- Causation: Their breach caused your swimming pool accident with their action or failure to take action.
- Damages: The swimming pool accident caused financial consequences you would not otherwise have experienced.
By proving these elements of negligence, your lawyer can pursue fair compensation on your behalf.
Types of Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pool accidents can range from minor to severe, each resulting in a range of injuries and resulting costs. Common accidents can include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Diving board accidents
- Pool slide accidents
- Pool chemical ingestion
- Electrical accidents
Resulting injuries can include traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), back and spinal cord injuries, broken or fractured bones, and disembowelment. Sadly, accidents in swimming pools can also lead to fatal or near-fatal injuries, including head injuries or paralysis resulting from an accidental fall to drownings or near drownings.

Put Our Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer to Work on Your Case Immediately
The sooner you get our law firm involved in your case, the more time we have to conduct a thorough investigation and speak to witnesses while their memories are fresh.
Early involvement also means we can meet the required statute of limitations. In Georgia, you generally have two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33.
If the filing deadline expires, you could lose the legal right to compel compensation from the at-fault party. Our law firm will work hard to accurately interpret the filing deadline since it can vary.
