Our Water Accident Injury Practice

Our Philadelphia personal injury lawyers handle all types of water-related injury claims, including cases involving:

• Swimming pool accidents — We represent individuals who have been injured in a swimming pool accident at a private home or in a private club or other commercial facility. We understand that an outdoor swimming pool can often be an “attractive nuisance,” drawing the attention of small children. Where there is inadequate fencing or other barriers around a pool, or improper supervision, we will help you seek compensation for any injuries that result.
• Boating or waterway accidents — We protect the rights of people who have been hurt in any type of accident on a lake, river or other waterway, including injuries suffered in boat collisions, waterskiing accidents or wave runner/Jet Ski incidents. This includes situations involving drunk boaters, poorly designed or constructed machines or products, boat fires or explosions, and other water-related negligence.
• We handle all types of injury claims resulting from water-related accidents, including serious and catastrophic loss, as well as wrongful death claims.
