Swimming Pool Injury Claims Experts

Swimming Pool Accidents

Something as common as being at a public swimming pool should be safe and free from danger; swimming pool accidents are avoidable. But, sadly, slips, trips and falls, as well as a host of other accidents, are a frequent event at public venues, including swimming pools.

Swimming Pool Accident Examples

There are many examples of accidents leading to swimming pool accidents. For example, public swimming pool incidents include:

• Slipping on wet surfaces
• Tripping over uneven floors or obstacles left around the poolside
• Being struck by a falling object
• Illness as a result of the use, non-use or misuse of certain chemical disinfectants
• Diving board injuries
• Broken tiles on the sides or floor of the swimming pools
• Accidents in swimming pool facility car parks due to poor layouts or bad lighting

All of these causes are reasonably easy to avoid, in general. However, negligence can occur through:

• Inadequate procedures
• Insufficient training
• Being short on staff
• Mere negligence

Consequently, negligence can quickly turn what should be a safe and pleasant environment into a perilous one. The swimming pool owner, centre manager, and lifeguards all have a duty of care to ensure swimming pool accidents are avoided, and customers and staff are kept safe. Legislation like the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 clearly sets out their responsibilities.

Common Types of Injury Leading to Swimming Pool Injury Claims

The amount of compensation for swimming and pool diving accidents varies from case to case, with a wide variety of injuries to account for. Injuries from recreational and diving accidents in swimming pools include:

• Abrasions or scrapes from a slip or fall
• Hitting one’s head on a wall or diving board
• Cuts or abrasions from a broken swimming pool tile or tiles

Even when you’re abroad, a swimming pool accident could occur. For example, tour operators might not give adequate warning about the conditions of the hotel swimming pool.

• General damages are another type of compensation we can help you claim.
• We can help you get back on your feet by helping you make a loss of earnings claim.

Loss of Earnings Evidence for Swimming Pool Injury Claims

To claim for loss of earnings, when looking for compensation for a swimming accident, you will need to produce your payslips for three months before their accident. If you regularly work overtime, you’ll need to prove overtime would be available to you during this period.

For example, if you work in retail and suffer the injury during the Christmas season. Another example is that you might work in a beachside cafe during the summer.

Compensation for lost earnings has a typical calculation:

1. Find the average amount you earn per month for the previous three months.
2. Multiply that by the duration you were unable to work.

If your earnings vary each month, the court can use your last six months as an average instead.

Starting a compensation claim against owners of a public swimming pool, leisure centre or any large organisation might feel like an insurmountable task, especially if you’re still suffering physically. But The Compensation Experts are here to help you, from your initial consultation to the resolution of your claim.

We work with a select group of personal injury solicitors around the country, and we’ll match you with one with the right experience to ensure you obtain maximum compensation.

Your compensation payment will cover the physical damage you have sustained, as well as any additional expenses you have had as the result of your injury. The Compensation Experts have helped clients who have lost income through being unable to work, or who have had private medical care, so they do not have to wait for medical attention or rehabilitative treatment on the NHS.

More about how we can help you

Claiming compensation is not about being greedy. Rather, it’s about receiving a fair and appropriate payment for your swimming pool accident and inconvenience. Not to mention the personal satisfaction of having the responsible party acknowledge their role.

Other law firms and personal injury compensation lawyers try to lure customers with compensation calculators, under the illusion that it might be hard to tailor a claim to your case.
