Swimming pool accidents are among the most devastating events a family can experience — drownings and near-drownings cause death or catastrophic brain injuries in minutes, and Florida leads the nation in child drowning fatalities. When a pool owner, hotel, resort, homeowner, or property manager fails to maintain a safe swimming environment, fails to install legally required barriers and safety equipment, or fails to provide adequate supervision, they can be held legally accountable for the injuries that result. Silva & Silva’s swimming pool negligence attorneys represent victims and their families throughout South Florida, combining expert engineers, medical specialists, and decades of premises liability experience — starting with a free case review.

Florida’s pool safety statutes — including the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act — require specific physical barriers, self-closing and self-latching gates, door alarms, and drain safety devices on all residential pools. Commercial pools face additional requirements under the Florida Building Code and OSHA regulations. When these requirements are violated and a child drowns or is seriously injured, strict liability claims may be available in addition to negligence claims. Silva & Silva’s attorneys know how to identify and plead every available statutory violation to maximize recovery.
