Swimming Pool Injuries

 

Attorney Jonathan C. Reed obtained a settlement of $5,750,000 on behalf of a child who suffered brain damage after a near drowning accident in a swimming pool. 

(Case # 96-A-365064-C). 

 

The child's family was renting an apartment in a complex that had the legally required fencing.  However, the gate was broken and the child thus gained entry to the pool area when his parent was momentarily distracted.  The landlord tried to blame other tenants for breaking the gate soon before the accident occurred.  Jonathan C. Reed's team was able to uncover evidence that the landlord did not maintain the gate in a timely fashion.

 

The above example illustrates how an experienced attorney familiar with premises liability and the Las Vegas legal community can obtain impressive results.  Jonathan C. Reed has been serving clients in Las Vegas since 1981.

 

Oftentimes, a landlord's or a homeowner's insurance policy will provide coverage to help compensate an accident victim.  An experienced attorney may not only be able to get the maximum amount from the liability insurance carrier, but also negotiate reductions in the medical bills.

According to the Center for Disease Control, for every child under 14 who drowns, there are five more that need emergency medical treatment, and approximately half of those require lenghty hospitalization. 
 
 
 

Non-fatal near drownings can cause permanent brain damage.  Victims may experience memory problems, learning disabilites, or even suffer a persistent vegetative state. 

 

Fatal drownings are the second leading cause of accidntal death for children aged 1-14.
