Florida Drowning Claim Lawyer • Working for Families and Victims of Near Drowning

Statewide Representation • 1-800-529-8883

A child is inherently drawn to water, whether it is a pool or the ocean. If a homeowner, pool facility, condo association, or other person or entity failed to provide adequate protection or security at a pool or beach, they can be held liable for any resulting injury or death.

We are compassionate with clients and aggressive in negotiation and litigation. For a free consultation about your drowning or near-drowning claim, contact Florida drowning claim attorney Mitchell Fox.

Causes of Drowning and Near Drowning

Most drowning or near drowning cases involve a lack of protection for children and adults in and around swimming pools, lakes, beaches, canals, and the ocean. A hotel, motel, condo association, YMCA, school, water park, cruise ship, or homeowner who fails to do the following may be liable for any injury or death that results:

• No warning signs about rip current (ocean)
• No lifeguard (when a sign is posted that one is on duty)
• No life preserver
• No pool depth indicators or lack of separation between shallow and deep end
• No fence or locked gate around pool
• Lack of proper lighting for security
• Lack of maintenance that results in cloudy water and delays the location of a submerged child

Hotels, motels, homeowners, and condo associations are required by law to provide secure and protected pools. A near drowning accident can result in very serious injuries and health complications, such as:

• Brain damage, due to continued lack of oxygen (hypoxia)
• Coma or persistent vegetative state
• Seizures
• Cognitive and personality changes
• Hemiparasis (weakness on one side of the body)
• Other life-altering and catastrophic injuries

Mr. Fox has helped clients throughout Florida secure full and fair compensation for injuries suffered in near-drowning accidents. We also help people secure wrongful death damages for adults and children who drowned due to negligence.

To help clients get full and adequate compensation, Mr. Fox works with medical specialists, rehabilitation experts, economists, and other life care planning specialists to thoroughly and fully understand all your or your loved one's future needs. We can help you get compensation for a lifetime of care, which may involve multiple surgeries, therapy, skilled nursing care, specialized medical equipment, accommodations at home, and other costly expenses.

At a larger law firm, a senior partner may meet with you initially, then hand your case off to a paralegal or junior associate. At our firm, you are never lost in the shuffle because Mitchell Fox handles your drowning claim personally.
