San Francisco Drowning Accident Lawyer

Representing Drowning Victims and Their Families

Drowning accidents can happen anywhere there is any body of water, such as a private or hotel pool or hot tub, beach, lake, or water park. Regardless of where they occur, they can lead to devastating consequences, including serious injury or death. If someone else's negligence caused the accident, they could be liable for damages incurred by the victim or their family. However, pursuing a personal injury claim or filing a lawsuit against the at-fault party can be complex. And when recovering from such an emotional experience as this, taking care of all the details required to seek legal recourse can be overwhelming. Fortunately, victims and family members do not have to go it alone. They can have an attorney by their side throughout the process.

We will stand by your side, providing the advice and guidance you need to pursue just compensation for expenses and financial losses you suffered.

Proving Negligence in a Drowning Accident Case

When you bring a claim against the person responsible for your drowning accident, the burden rests on you to prove your case. This requires demonstrating that the owner or supervisor of the pool, hot tub, or other body of water failed to take reasonable action to address hazardous situations that were likely to lead to drowning.

Specifically, you must show that the individual:

• Had a duty of care: They were responsible for maintaining a safe environment for visitors and guests.
• Breached their duty of care: They acted below the standards reasonably expected in a particular situation.
• Was negligent and caused harm: They failed to fix dangerous conditions in a reasonable amount of time, and their negligence was the proximate cause of injury.

At The Doan Law Firm, we leave no stone unturned as we work to demonstrate negligence.

Our San Francisco drowning accident attorney employs the following strategic approach when handing a case:

• Interview: We begin by asking our clients a series of questions to get a full understanding of what happened, who it happened to, where it happened, and why it happened. From there, we determine whether a drowning accident claim can be filed.
• Investigation: We gather and preserve relevant evidence, including documents, police and first responder reports, and medical records. We may also visit the scene to inspect the area where the accident occurred and document the conditions.
• Preparation: We interview witnesses and experts and analyze the evidence to develop a compelling argument for our clients. We are then ready to enter negotiations or go to trial to seek fair financial recovery.

Seeking Damages After a Drowning Accident

Drowning accidents can be physically and emotionally difficult for the victim and their family. Many cases are fatal. In situations where the victim survives, they can sustain severe injuries, such as brain damage, which can alter the course of their life and require constant medical care.

You can seek to recover the following accident-related costs and losses:

• Medical expenses,
• Lost wages,
• Pain and suffering,
• Funeral costs, and
• Other associated damages

How much you can receive depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the extent of the medical care required. Our drowning accident lawyer in San Francisco will assess your case to determine a just compensation amount.
