As a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death law by the State Bar of Arizona, I am very familiar with people who have suffered tragedy. Many of my clients suffered life changing tragedies, and I helped the families of those who have lost loved ones as a result of unexpected traumatic events. However, the constant string of pool drownings throughout the State of Arizona, from Flagstaff down to Phoenix down to Tucson and across the entire state, is overwhelming.
According to published reports, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death among children Age 1 to 4 years old. In fact, according to at least one study, other than motor vehicle accidents, the leading cause of accidental death in children from Ages 1 to 14 years old is drowning.
Sometimes, of course, these numbers mean very little to the individual family who suffers such a tragedy. And, realistically, filing a lawsuit or hiring a personal injury lawyer is the last thing on somebody’s mind at the moment they first learn of a drowning death or near drowning tragedy. However, many families begin to consider their options at some point thereafter. Many families seek to have some justice and hope to provide a deterrent so that other kids will not suffer the same fate. However, those families deserve honest answers to both the strengths or potential weaknesses of any such claim. Those people deserve a no cost evaluation with a skilled Phoenix child swimming accident lawyer to decide what options they have and what their time deadlines may be in pursuing such a case.
If you or anybody you know is trying to decide whether or not they want to pursue a claim or, in the alternative, have decided to pursue a claim but want to speak to an experienced and reputable Arizona personal injury lawyer, please feel free to contact us at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. You can count on honest, straight forward advice that will allow you to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of you and you entire family.
