Justice for You and Your Family with a Fort Worth Drowning Accident Lawyer

Your Rights in a Fort Worth Aquatic Accident Case

Every year, people lose their lives in drowning accidents that arise from the negligence of someone else. Additionally, others end up injured – and oftentimes seriously so – in other types of aquatic accidents. If you or a loved one have been injured in this way – or if a member of your family has died in an aquatic accident – the Doan Law Firm Fort Worth drowning accident lawyer team is here for you at (817) 935-0000.

Fort Worth Drowning Accident Injury Claim

There are instances in which a person experiences a near-fatal drowning accident but does not lose his or her life. Unfortunately, a good many of these incidents occur because of the negligence of someone else. Examples of Fort Worth drowning accidents that occur because of someone else’s negligent action or inaction include:

• Failure to properly secure a pool area (which can result in a child being the victim of a near-fatal drowning incident)
• Lack of suitable emergency and safety equipment at a pool
• Improper monitoring of pool area (lack of attention by a lifeguard at a pool)
• Dangerous defects to pool or pool deck

If you or a loved one have been injured in a drowning accident or another type of aquatic accident, you have a limited period in which you can file a Texas personal injury lawsuit. According to Texas law, you must file a drowning accident personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the incident. If you fail to make that deadline, you are likely to find yourself forever precluded from obtaining justice and accountability for your injuries, damages, and losses.

Fort Worth Drowning Accident Wrongful Death Case

Each year, people from all walks of life across the Lone Star State lose their lives in drowning accidents. In many instances, these drowning deaths occur as the result of the negligence of some other party.

The facts and circumstances surrounding a drowning death dictate the nature and extent of compensation that may be available in the Fort Worth wrongful death claim. Examples of the types of losses for which our firm seeks compensation in a Texas drowning accident wrongful death case include what are known as survival claims:

• Pain and suffering

• Medical bills
• Restitution

Texas law also includes the ability to claim losses sustained by family members because of the death of a loved one because of the actions of another party:

• Loss of companionship
• Loss of financial support
• Funeral expenses
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
