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.
