Swimming Pool and Diving Accidents

New Jersey Swimming Pool Accident Lawyers

Owners of private "backyard" pools often provide their friends and neighbors with a great deal of enjoyment. Owners and operators of public pools, apartment building pools, community pools, health club pools, and hotel/motel pools provide similar benefits to all of us. However, each of them also has a legal responsibility to provide a safe environment.

If you have suffered a diving injury or been injured in a swimming pool accident, you may be able to file a "premises liability" claim against the responsible owner of the pool if you can prove: that the owner was negligent, that that negligence caused an injury, and that damages occurred as a result of that injury.

Our attorneys can help.

At Aiello Harris, we represent injured people and grieving families in Somerset County, Union County, Middlesex County, Hunterdon County, Essex County, Morris County, and throughout North and Central New Jersey who have been irreparably damaged by the negligence of swimming pool owners and operators. The most common causes of these accidents include:

• Improperly designed and constructed pools
• Failure to properly secure a pool from small children
• Failure to maintain the swimming pool in good condition
• Inadequate supervision
• Inadequate warning signs

Liability for swimming pool or spa accidents can involve three types of law: negligence or tort law, product liability law, or premises liability law. However, the liability of the pool owner is not absolute. You must still prove that you did not disregard on open and obvious danger. These laws are complex and require the expertise of a personal injury lawyer who has experience handling serious swimming pool injury cases.

We do.
