Liability > Swimming Pool Injury
After motor vehicle accidents, drowning is the second
leading cause of death for children under the age of five.
Swimming pools are the leading cause of death by
drowning taking the lives of around 350 children annually.
It is no surprise that so many children drown each year when
the facts of swimming pool accidents are reviewed. It only
takes a couple of minutes for a child to drown and the accidental
drowning usually occurs silently without much splashing or
calls for help.
Under the Oklahoma laws of premise liability, the
owner of a swimming pool is held legally accountable for pool
accidents and injuries occurring in or around the
pool. It is the sole responsibility of the owner of a swimming
pool to be pro-active in preventing injuries by providing
a safe environment for everyone who may come into contact
with the pool invited or not.

pool injury, contact the Oklahoma City
