How do I Know if I am Eligible to File a Case?

There are many factors to consider when trying to determine if you could be eligible to file a claim. This includes premises liability laws, because the owners of properties with pools are often held liable for pool accidents.

Property owners (homeowners, fitness/recreational centers, hotels) could be held liable under premises liability laws for a variety of reasons. For example, maybe the property owner failed to fix a tripping hazard near the pool. If the property owner knew or should have known about it and failed to fix it or warn pool users about it, he or she could potentially be held liable.

If the accident happened at a public pool, the owner could potentially be liable for not having safety equipment or not having a lifeguard on duty.

Arizona requires swimming pools that meet certain criteria to have an enclosure to prevent access by children and trespassers. If the fence was missing and someone drowned or suffered an injury, violation of the law could be a major factor in proving liability for damages.

Another important factor in a pool accident claim is the legal status of the accident victim at the time of the injury. Was the victim legally allowed to be at the pool, or was he or she trespassing?

Since these cases are so complex you can benefit greatly from talking to an experienced attorney. Our Glendale pool drowning lawyers can review your situation in a free consultation. We know how to determine if you may have a valid claim and there is no obligation to take legal action after meeting with us.

The Deadline for Filing a Claim in Arizona

Typically, Arizona personal injury claims and wrongful death claims have a two-year deadline. This means many of these claims need to be filed within two years of the accident or death or they will be barred.

Two years may sound like a long time, but it can pass a lot faster than you may realize. It is also important to note your claim may have a different deadline ”“ sooner or later than two years. For example, claims against government entities must be filed before 180 days pass.

Our attorneys can determine the deadline that may apply to your claim. However, the clock may already be running, so it is important to contact us as soon as possible.

What Is the Case Worth?

The value of a case is based on many factors, particularly the damages suffered and severity of your injuries. It is tough to determine the value of a claim until we meet with you to review what happened.

Our legal team of investigators, paralegals and attorneys can launch an extensive investigation into your accident, if you have a case and hire us to pursue it. This investigation will help us to determine the full value of your damages.

We have decades of combined experience reviewing injuries, medical reports, how injuries affect future earning capacity, and how injuries can affect victims and their loved ones physically and emotionally.

What Can a Pool Drowning Lawyer Do to Help?

There are many reasons why it is a good idea to hire a dedicated pool drowning lawyer to help you pursue a claim. For example, victims and their loved ones are often pursuing compensation from insurance companies, and an attorney can protect your claim by dealing with insurers on your behalf.

It is risky for accident victims to handle things on their own because insurance companies know how to trick and manipulate victims into accepting lowball settlements or making statements that allow the insurance company to devalue their claim.

The attorneys at Phillips Law Group can negotiate with the insurance company and explain when to provide a recorded statement, what to include in this statement and what medical records to provide to them, among other things. We are experienced at reviewing insurance policies to determine the limits of coverage and what kinds of accidents and damages are covered.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community.

Why Poolside Accidents Happen

Drownings can be quiet, which is why they often happen when other people are in the pool at the same time. Others could be distracted because they are swimming, playing around, and talking to those around them, so they might not notice someone drowning.

This is why some pools are required to have lifeguards on duty, and owners could potentially be held liable for accidents that happen if a lifeguard was supposed to be present and was not there, or if the lifeguard was not paying attention.

Some of the common reasons for poolside accidents and drownings could include:
