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.
Another benefit to hiring an experienced lawyer, like those at Phillips Law Group, is that we take cases to court if it becomes necessary. Our goal is to obtain full compensation for your damages.
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:
- Slip and fall hazards around the pool
- Diving boards that were installed incorrectly
- Lack of signage around the pool
- Poor maintenance of the water and area around the pool

I just wanted to thank Phillips law Group and Vanessa Rodriguez for all the help that she did for my daughter’s case. She was involved in her first accident and she needed the help to deal with these adjusters. Thank you again.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
