What Are Some Common Causes of Pool Accident Injuries?
You might already know what type of injury you or your loved one has following their accident. Unfortunately, not all injuries are noticeable at first. Many victims often believe their unique injuries came from a freak accident. However, they’re surprised to learn how common some really are.
Sadly, many swimming pools and their environments lack basic protections that keep swimmers and visitors safe. This is often true for residential swimming pools. Some common safety hazards include:
- Lack of barriers and fences
- Loose tiles or other pool deck hazards
- Faulty ladders and diving boards
- Lack of anti-entrapment devices
- Excessively shallow deep ends
Even in public pools, many facilities often lack the necessary oversight to ensure safety. While some might possess these listed design defects, they also might be guilty of negligent staff members, inattentive lifeguards, and a lack of posted safety signs.</span
