Pool Drowning Case – Wrongful Death
We represented the Estate of a minor child in a Wrongful Death case against a Palm Beach County apartment complex for their failure to properly secure the pool area allowing a child to get through a fence, into the pool and drown. The apartment complex failed to repair a section of fence surrounding the pool that had been broken for quite some time.
Our investigation revealed that the complex also did not have proper life saving equipment in the pool area, the video surveillance camera in the pool area was not working and the 911 emergency telephone in the pool area was not working.
