• Failure to take measures to provide a safe swimming environment (read inflatable pool drowning prevention information)
  
• Failure to post warnings about dangerous conditions
  
• Failure to properly train staff.

If you or someone you love has had a playground accident (for example, a climbing wall, swing, slide, monkey bars or merry-go-round accident) or a swimming pool accident or injury (for example, contracting Legionnaires' disease, drowning or a diving board accident), you may be able to receive compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of earnings.

Protecting Your Legal Rights after a
Playground or Swimming Pool Accident

Here are some steps you can take to increase your chances of getting what you need and deserve after your child has been injured or killed on a playground or in a swimming pool:

• Seek proper medical care. You will need documentation for your case.
  
• Get the names, phone numbers and addresses of all witnesses involved. Take photographs of the scene if you can.
  
• Do not sign any documents relating to the incident, and do not discuss your case with anyone. Most parties that you will need to deal with, including insurance companies, do not have your best interests in mind.
  
• Find a good attorney as soon as possible. You may have to file a suit within a specific time frame, according to the "statutes of limitations." You also need to keep in mind that evidence in cases like yours can disappear overnight.
