Am I Eligible to Pursue Legal Compensation?
Determining whether you have a valid case and can pursue compensation for your losses is a difficult task. Our legal team must first establish who is to blame for the pool accident.
In most pool accident cases, there are premise liability laws to consider. The property owner or entity that possesses the property may be held responsible for injuries sustained on the premise. For example, if a drowning accident occurred at a public pool, the property owner may be held liable for not providing proper safety equipment or having a lifeguard on duty.
In Arizona, facilities with pools must abide by certain safety protocols, such as:
- The pool must have a self-latching and self-closing entrance and be located at least 54 inches above the ground.
- The pool must be enclosed by a wall, fence or barrier of at least five feet high and must not be accessible from the outside of the pool.
What is the Value of My Case?
Determining the value of your potential case involves many factors, such as the severity of your injuries and the damages you have experienced from the injury. By meeting with an experienced Lake Havasu City pool drowning attorney, you may get a better idea of what your case may be worth and how to proceed in obtaining compensation.
Our legal team may be able to help you pursue both economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic damages ”“ These are the financial losses you have experienced because of the pool drowning accident. This includes out-of-pocket expenses you have incurred or may incur in the future such as medical bills, lost wages and rehabilitation costs.
- Non-economic damages ”“ These losses are more difficult to quantify because they do not have a dollar value. It may include pain and suffering, mental distress, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of companionship.

Is There a Time Limit to Take Legal Action?
Personal injury cases, including pool drowning accidents, are governed by Arizona’s statute of limitations. This means you generally have two years from the date of the accident to take legal action or run the risk of being barred from court and unable to recover damages.
Since every case is unique, there could be exceptions to this deadline. This is why we recommend reaching out to one of our Lake Havasu City pool drowning lawyers for advice.
What Can a Lawyer From Phillips Law Group Do to Help?
Pursuing a legal claim without legal representation can be challenging, especially when having to communicate and negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company. Most insurance companies work to benefit their own profits and not of the best interests of injury victims. At Phillips Law Group, we are aware of the tactics insurance companies use to try to deny or devalue claims in an effort to pay out as little as possible.
If you have a valid case, a Lake Havasu City pool drowning lawyer from our firm is prepared to work with you to determine a fair value for your damages. We are skilled negotiators and often combat lowball offers that insurance companies present to our clients.
Cases are only as strong as the evidence it has to support it. We have the resources to launch a detailed investigation into the accident to help prove negligence, including gathering eyewitness statements, determining which laws may have been violated and collecting your medical reports to help connect your injury to the pool drowning accident.

Erika A.
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 --...
