Looking for a Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer in Florida?
A swimming pool accident can lead to drowning, brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, electrical injuries, chemical exposure, and other serious harm. If unsafe conditions contributed to the accident, a swimming pool accident lawyer can investigate whether a homeowner, landlord, hotel, resort, apartment complex, pool operator, or another party failed to take reasonable safety precautions. These cases often fall under Florida premises liability law.
Florida also has specific safety requirements for certain residential pools. Under Florida Statute § 515.27, part of the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, covered new residential pools must have at least one specified safety feature, such as an approved barrier, safety cover, exit alarm, qualifying self-closing and self-latching doors, or pool alarm. A pool injury lawyer can examine whether missing barriers, unsafe equipment, inadequate supervision, poor maintenance, or another dangerous condition contributed to the injury.

Why Choose Ligori & Ligori for Your
Swimming Pool Accident Case in Florida?
Pool accidents can involve several potential causes and responsible parties. Insurers may dispute how an accident happened, whether a dangerous condition existed, or whether the property owner or operator had a responsibility to prevent it. Our attorneys investigate the facts and build the claim around the available evidence.
That investigation may include photographs, surveillance footage, witness accounts, maintenance records, inspection information, pool rules, safety equipment, medical records, and other evidence. When a child is involved, we can also examine issues involving unsecured pools and unsafe premises or attractive nuisances.
Drowning and near-drowning cases require particular care. A swimming pool drowning lawyer can investigate supervision, barriers, gates, alarms, pool access, maintenance, and other circumstances while documenting the medical and financial effects on the injured person or family.
Keith Ligori is a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the firm represents injury victims throughout Florida. We handle communication with insurers and responsible parties so clients can concentrate on treatment, recovery, and their families.
We advance case costs and work on contingency. Whether an accident occurred at a private home, apartment community, hotel, resort, or another property, our team can explain your legal options and pursue accountability when the evidence supports a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions About Swimming Pool Accidents
Who can be responsible for a swimming pool accident?
Responsibility depends on what caused the accident. A negligent pool owner, landlord, property manager, hotel or resort operator, association, maintenance company, contractor, or equipment manufacturer could potentially be involved. A lawyer can investigate who controlled the property or equipment and what conduct contributed to the injury.
What compensation may be available after a pool accident?
Depending on the case, recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the injury. When a drowning results in death, eligible survivors and the estate may have rights under Florida’s wrongful-death laws.
How long do I have to file a swimming pool accident claim in Florida?
Under Florida Statute §95.11, actions founded on negligence generally have a two-year limitations period, and wrongful-death actions are also generally subject to a two-year period. The correct deadline can depend on the circumstances, so it is important to have the specific case reviewed promptly.
