Common Causes of Pool Related Accidents
With the combination of wet conditions and people being physically active, pools and water parks can be a common source of injury causing incidents. Some reasons for this include:
- Lack of maintenance
- Lack of warning signs
- Lack of supervision
- Incorrectly installed diving boards
- Diving into too-shallow areas
- Obstacles around the pool
- Tripping hazards around the pool
- Uncovered drains
- Poorly treated water which can cause ear, eye and throat infections, respiratory issues and intestinal issues
If you believe that you were injured at a pool due to the negligence of the pool owners, you may be eligible to file a damages claim.
Do I Have A Pool Injury Case?
Establishing liability is an important component in a pool injury lawsuit. As pools are generally considered to be a part of the property where the pool is located, premises liability laws often become a part of the lawsuit.
Under premises liability, a landowner or entity that possesses property can be held liable for injuries and damages that are sustained on that property. For example – if a landowner knew of a dangerous condition around a pool – like a loose tile – and failed to:
- Notify the plaintiff about that tile
- Put warning signage around the tile
- Did nothing to fix the issue
… that landowner may potentially be held liable under premises liability law.
However, there are also provisions that can protect landowners from plaintiffs that are not eligible to support their claim. For example – if someone was uninvited and trespassing on their property – and was injured swimming in a pool on that property – that injury victim may not be eligible to file a lawsuit.
Lawsuits involving premises liability can be complex issues that require the oversight of an experienced, licensed Mesa pool accident attorney. There are often many variables in these cases that require great attention to detail in order to help prove negligence and establish the grounds to pursue a robust damages claim.
What Is My Case Worth?
In the state of Arizona, there are no limits or caps to personal injury compensation. However, there are often many different factors involved in a personal injury case which can make it difficult to determine the exact value of a given case.
At Phillips Law Group, our team of lawyers and support staff have the experience and resources to fully investigate your claim to determine if you have a case and if so, the most effective method to pursue a damages claim.
We understand that medical treatment costs and other factors like lost income can have a significant impact on the financial security of victims and their families. If you need answers about your potential lawsuit, we encourage you to call a Mesa pool accident attorney today and let us explore the legal options that may be available to you.
Why Hire a Lawyer?
In the event that an individual is seriously hurt – or perhaps fatally injured – in a pool-related incident, the insurance company that has issued the insurance policy on the property will most likely be involved in the situation quickly.
While not all policies include coverage for liability, for those that do, it is the goal of the insurance company to settle the claim for the lowest financial amount possible, as quickly as possible. In order to do this, the insurance company may request the victim and/or their family members to sign documentation or to provide a statement about the event. This information can be used against you should a damages lawsuit be filed.
By hiring a pool accident lawyer from Phillips Law Group in Mesa, we can help to protect victims and their families from the inquiries of the insurance company and ensure that your best interests are protected.
In the event that we determine you have a case and you hire our team, we will also assemble as much information as possible, to build a strong argument for your damages claim. Our goal is to provide our clients with an opportunity to move forward with the recovery process, while we work to hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.

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 --...
