How Do I Know If Have a Case?
Our legal team will not know whether you have a viable case until we have the opportunity to review your situation in a free consultation. This includes evaluating the details of your pool-related accident and determining if another party could be held liable for your damages.
Both homeowners and property owners have a legal responsibility to create a safe environment and protect others from pool-related accidents. Under Arizona Revised Statutes §36-1681, there are several safety measures that pool owners must abide by. This includes the following:
- Pools must be protected by an enclosure, such as a wall, fence or barrier, that surrounds the area
- The fence must be at least five feet high
- Pool gates must be self-closing and self-latching and have a latch at least 54 inches above the ground
Pool owners are also responsible for educating young children about basic safety tips when using a swimming pool, providing adequate supervision to children and other pool users to avoid harm, and having appropriate life-saving equipment and insurance for the pool. Most pool owners generally have a minimum of one million dollars in liability insurance in the event of a pool-related accident resulting in injury or death.
This is why it is in your best interest to contact our experienced Peoria pool drowning lawyers. We are ready to go over every detail of the accident, so we can determine liability and help you obtain a fair recovery.

How Much is My Case Worth?
The value of your potential case will depend on many factors, such as the severity of your injuries and damages, the costs associated with your medical treatment, time missed from work for recovery, as well as your ability to work or complete everyday tasks in the future.
Some damages you may be eligible for include:
- Immediate and recurring medical care
- Loss of wages or benefits
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- In-home care equipment
- Household and vehicle modifications
- Rehabilitation or physical therapy
Determining the value of your damages will also require obtaining important documentation, such as medical records, hospital receipts, accident reports, pay stubs for lost wages and any other information that shows the financial, physical and emotional losses you and your family have endured. This is something our attorneys are prepared to take care of on your behalf.
Can Hiring a Lawyer Help Me?
When you contact a lawyer from Phillips Law Group, we are prepared to answer any questions you may have about the legal process.
Having a knowledgeable Peoria pool drowning lawyer on your side can be an important part of the recovery process. We want you to focus on getting better while we handle all the communications and negotiations with the other side’s insurance company.
Our lawyers will protect your best interests while dealing with the insurance company to negotiate a fair settlement. However, we are ready to reject any unfair offers that do not cover the full value of your damages.
Should it be necessary, we are also prepared to go to trial. Our goal is to help you obtain full compensation for your damages.
Deadline for Filing Claims in Arizona
For most personal injury cases, including pool accidents and drownings, lawsuits must generally be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Not taking legal action before the two-year time limit will likely result in the case being barred from court and you losing your right to seek compensation.
Each case is different, so there could be exceptions requiring you to file before or after two years. Minors who have been injured in a pool-related accident have until their 20th birthday to file a claim. That is why we encourage that you reach out to a Peoria pool drowning attorney.

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!

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
