California Swimming Pool Accident Attorneys
On January 1, 2007, the California Swimming Pool Safety Act was passed concerning those who have been issued building permits for swimming pools or spas. The act requires individuals equip their pool or spa with the following types of safety features:
- Isolation of the pool from access to the home by an enclosure that meets specific guidelines
- Approved pool cover meeting specific requirements
- Swimming pool alarms that sounds when unauthorized or accidental entrance to the pool is detected
- Removable mesh pool fencing and a self-closing, self-latching gate
- Exit alarms on doors of the home that provide direct access to the pool
- Self-closing, self-latching devices with release mechanisms placed no lower than 54” above the floor on doors leading to the pool
- Other approved means of protection
It is critical for pool/spa owners to follow these guidelines to help ensure the safety of those enjoying the swimming pool or spa. Unfortunately, swimming pool accidents continue to happen, and they can have life-altering effects on the victims.
Swimming Pool Accident Injuries
If you or a loved one has sustained serious personal injuries in a swimming pool accident as a direct result of someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible to pursue an injury claim. These accidents can cause serious brain damage with long-lasting effects such as learning disabilities, memory problems, and permanent loss of basic functions. Additionally, victims may sustain nerve damage, spinal or neck injuries, back injuries, and other serious damages that deserve compensation.
