Am I Eligible to File a Case?

Determining if you are eligible to pursue compensation depends on many factors, such as liability. Pool accident claims typically involve premises liability laws, which give property owners duties to help ensure the safety of people who come on the property.

If a property owner fails to take reasonable action to deal with a hazard in or around the pool and a visitor gets hurt, the owner could be liable for damages from the injury. Reasonable action could include fixing the hazard or warning users about it.

Arizona also has specific regulations for those who own property that includes a pool. For example:

• The pool must be self-closed and self-latching with the latch located at least 54 inches above the underlying ground.
• The pool must be entirely enclosed by at least a five-foot wall, barrier or fence, that shall not contain openings accessible from the outside of the pool.
• The horizontal components of the wall, fence or barrier must be on the pool side.

The legal status of the victim also plays an important role in a drowning case. If the victim was trespassing at the time of the accident, the property owner may not be held liable for damages.

These cases can be very complicated, but you can review your situation with a licensed attorney.

Is There a Time Limit for Filing a Claim in Arizona?

In Arizona, personal injury cases, like drowning cases, generally have a two-year deadline under the statute of limitations. Claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident, otherwise they may be barred or dismissed from court.

However, there may be exceptions to this deadline in certain cases. This is something to discuss with an experienced attorney, because the deadline for your claim could be approaching very soon.

What is the Value of My Case?
