Helping You Recover Damages

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for every child who dies in a drowning accident, eight more go to the emergency room for nonfatal drowning injuries. Additionally, males make up for 80% of those who die from drowning. Even in cases where accident drowning victims survive, they can sustain serious injuries, resulting in brain damage and other long-term disabilities.

Causes of Drowning Accidents

Drowning accidents can happen for any number of reasons, but some are more common than others.

Below is a list of contributing factors that make it more likely:

• Ineffective or no fences around water: Fencing around pool areas can prevent access to a child. According to the CDC, a four-sided isolated fence separating a pool area from the yard and house can reduce the risk of a child drowning by 83%.

• No supervision: Drowning accidents can happen fast and without a sound, especially if there is a lack of supervision. Even if there is a lifeguard present, it is still crucial to supervise children when out at the pool or near any other body of water.

• Alcohol consumption: Alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and balance. The CDC estimates that alcohol is responsible for one in five reported boating deaths.

• Location: More than half of both nonfatal and fatal drownings are among those 15 years of age or older and occur in natural waters, including oceans, lakes, and rivers.
