Drowning and Pool Accidents

Atlanta, Georgia Swimming Pool Accident Attorneys

Thousands of children have died or suffered serious brain damage because of defective pool gates and fences, inadequate supervision, defective pumps and defective drains in pools.

While we have represented families in cases dealing with various safety lapses, the issues of inadequate supervision and poorly maintained swimming pool fences and gates are particularly alarming to us, because so many children drown in Georgia, and throughout the southeastern states each year.

Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced attorney. We accept most of our cases on a contingency basis.

Experience Representing Accident Victims

The law firm of Goldstein & Hayes, PC, has aggressively represented accident victims. We have successfully obtained verdicts and settlements for victims of pool accidents in Georgia and throughout southeastern United States.

As veteran trial lawyers, we have represented families in complex cases relating to public and private swimming pools and hot tubs. We have extensive experience seeking compensation from hotel and motels, athletic clubs, municipal swimming pools, homeowners and manufactures of pumps and drains. Our attorneys handle a variety of pool accident and drowning claims arising from poor safety conditions such as:

• Missing or weak fencing
• Discolored water that masks the depth markers
• Lack of depth indicators
• Lack of safety equipment
• Poorly trained or no lifeguard
• Defective design of gates or walkways surrounding a pool
• Defective pool maintenance equipment such as drains and pumps
• Weak or broken pool ladders

Helping Children and Their Families

Many of our clients are the families of drowned or injured children. We are grateful for the trust that our clients place in our law firm during a very difficult time in their lives. In addition to causing death by drowning, pool accidents cause catastrophic and life-altering conditions such as brain injury from near-drowning, neck and back injury, spinal cord damage and broken bones.

Whether the case is related to defective pool equipment or the negligence of a swimming pool owner or operator, we build a strong case for our clients. Using safety experts, product engineers and other specialists, we document defects or negligent behavior that lead to the injury or wrongful death.
