Why Drowning and Pool Injuries Happen
Drownings and pool-related injuries often occur due to negligence, such as:
- Lack of proper supervision
- Inadequate fencing or barriers
- Missing or defective pool safety equipment
- Slippery surfaces causing falls
- Unsafe pool designs or maintenance issues
In many cases, these accidents are preventable with proper safety measures. If negligence contributed to your injury or loss, you may have the right to pursue a legal claim for damages.
Common Locations for Pool Injuries in Nevada
Hotels and Casinos
Nevada is home to world-famous hotels and casinos, many of which boast luxurious pools. However, inadequate maintenance and supervision of these environments can sometimes lead to unsafe conditions. If lifeguards fail to supervise guests properly, pool areas are not maintained, or clear safety guidelines are not enforced, tragic accidents can occur. Our team is experienced in holding these large corporations accountable for negligence.
VRBO, Airbnb, and Short-Term Rentals
Private pools at short-term rental properties can be especially hazardous. Many lack the safety measures required for commercial or public pools, such as fencing or alarm systems. Property owners and managers have a legal obligation to ensure their pools are safe for guests. If you or a loved one were injured at a VRBO or Airbnb in Nevada, we can help you explore your legal options.
Apartments, Condominiums, and Shared Pools
Shared pools in residential complexes often attract children and families but may be poorly maintained or inadequately supervised. Faulty gates, lack of warning signs, or failure to enforce pool rules can all contribute to accidents. At Pritzker Hageman, we understand the unique challenges of holding property owners or management companies accountable in these situations.
Schools and Campgrounds
When children are under the care of schools, campgrounds, or other organizations, these entities have a legal responsibility to ensure their safety. Tragically, drownings can occur when adult supervisors fail to properly monitor children. Our attorneys are experienced in investigating negligence in these environments and can help families seek justice for their losses.
Nevada Drowning Statistics and Laws
- Nevada’s hot climate and tourism-driven economy make pools a common feature, but drowning remains one of the leading causes of accidental death for children under 14 in the state.
- State and local laws require fencing around residential pools, specific safety equipment, and proper maintenance of public and commercial pools. Violations of these laws can form the basis of a legal claim.
