Swimming pools can be a lot of fun but they can also be dangerous, especially when property owners do not take reasonable steps to keep swimmers safe. If you have a loved one who was injured or drowned in a pool, you may have legal options.
Our Tucson pool drowning lawyers are available to discuss your situation during a free consultation. This is an opportunity to review the details of your claim and determine if you may have a case.

Jeffrey Phillips, founding partner of Phillips Law Group, has obtained favorable verdicts in several Arizona counties and is a member of numerous legal organizations, including the American Association for Justice and Western Trial Lawyers Association.

We can be reached by phone anytime: 1-800-706-3000 .
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?
Determining the value of your potential case depends on the severity of your injuries and the damages you suffered, among many other factors. Each situation is unique, so the damages that may be available depend on the specifics of your claim.
Generally, there are two main forms of compensation:
Economic Damages
These are out-of-pocket expenses in the aftermath of an injury:
- Medical bills
- Medical assistive equipment
- Emergency care costs
- Ambulance transportation
- Prescription medication
- Rehabilitation costs
- Funeral and burial costs
Noneconomic Damages
These types of damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship
Our attorneys are often asked by potential clients what their case may be worth. You can schedule a free consultation to learn more about damages that may be available in an injury claim. Our firm has a proven track record of helping clients obtain compensation to help them move forward with their lives.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
