Summer is one of the best months for children for many reasons: warm weather, summer vacation, playing outside with friends, and, maybe most of all, the chance to enjoy a swimming pool. Swimming pools have been a staple of children’s enjoyment for many years, and it’s a shame that with so much potential fun also comes the threat of serious injury. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 300 children drown and approximately 2,000 receive emergency medical attention each year due to injuries sustained while in and around pools.
If you or a loved one was injured in or around a public swimming pool, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and other expenses. The best way to get the recovery you deserve is to schedule a consultation with an experienced Peachtree City personal injury attorney at Shane Smith Law as soon as possible.
