Whether the drowning took place at a hotel, motel, public pool, private pool, water park, beach or other location, the facts must be fully reviewed to determine where the system failed. Some public or private pools have failed to ensure that the pool gates were functioning, or the lifeguard on duty failed to take action early enough to save the child. In other cases, CPR was administered, but incorrectly, and a child that could have been saved has died. How do you file a claim and seek justice? The first step is to get advice and counsel from a law firm that deals with drowning accident claims. A review of the situation and the details will allow the lawyer to advise you about taking action to recover compensation for your tragic loss. A parent will never recover from the loss of a child. The legal system allows for legal action to be taken in civil court to seek justice in the form of compensation. If you lost a child in a drowning accident, the first step is to have your case evaluated by a lawyer. You have limited time in which to file a claim, and it is important that you take action as early as possible after the death.
