Orlando Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer

Swimming pools are a favorite way for residents and visitors to enjoy Florida’s warm weather, but they can also be the scene of serious and sometimes tragic accidents. Drownings, near-drownings, and slip and fall incidents often occur when property owners fail to follow proper safety procedures. If you or someone you love was injured in a pool-related incident, an experienced Orlando swimming pool accident lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Swimming Pool Accidents in Orlando

Pool accidents can happen in a matter of seconds and often result in devastating injuries or loss of life. Orlando’s abundance of residential pools, resorts, and waterparks increases the likelihood of such incidents. Property owners, hotel operators, and maintenance staff are responsible for keeping swimming areas safe and compliant with Florida’s safety regulations. Spencer Morgan Law works to hold negligent parties accountable when they fail to protect guests and residents.

Common Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents

• Lack of proper fencing or locked gates
• Inadequate supervision or lifeguard presence
• Defective or broken pool drains and equipment
• Slippery pool decks without proper traction
• Chemical imbalances leading to burns or illness
• Poorly maintained lighting or signage

Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation into every case, gathering evidence such as maintenance logs, surveillance footage, and eyewitness statements to determine fault.

Steps to Take After a Swimming Pool Accident

1. Call 911 and seek medical attention immediately.
2. Report the accident to the property owner, hotel, or facility manager.
3. Take photos of the pool area, safety features, and any visible hazards.
4. Collect witness information if anyone saw the incident.
5. Preserve medical records and receipts related to treatment.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law for legal advice before speaking to insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is liable for a swimming pool accident?

Property owners, managers, or maintenance companies can be held liable if negligence caused the accident.

Can I file a claim if my child was hurt at a neighbor’s pool?

Yes. Florida’s laws protect children under the “attractive nuisance” doctrine, which requires pool owners to secure their property.

What if there was no lifeguard on duty?

If the facility failed to provide adequate supervision or warning signs, it could be held responsible for resulting injuries.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Most personal injury claims in Florida must be filed within two years from the date of the accident.

What if the pool was at a hotel or resort?

You may be able to file a premises liability claim against the property owner or management company.
