Swimming pool accidents — including drownings, near-drownings, diving injuries, and slip-and-fall incidents — can cause catastrophic and often fatal injuries. Property owners with pools have a heightened duty of care, particularly toward children. When inadequate fencing, lack of supervision, poor lighting, or defective equipment contributes to a pool accident, the property owner may be liable.
Attractive Nuisance Doctrine
Under Utah's attractive nuisance doctrine, property owners with swimming pools have a higher duty of care toward trespassing children who are attracted to the pool. Even if a child entered the property without permission, the owner may be liable if the pool was not adequately secured with proper fencing and self-closing, self-latching gates.
Drowning and Near-Drowning Claims
Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in young children. Near-drowning can cause severe brain damage from oxygen deprivation. We represent the families of drowning victims and survivors of near-drowning against negligent pool owners, hotels, apartment complexes, and municipal pool operators.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Utah's pool fencing requirements?
Utah requires residential pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Violations of these requirements are powerful evidence of negligence in a pool accident case.
