Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pools, including those for the popular sports of water polo, diving, and synchronized swimming, are a limited resource in the area and in great demand. When overcrowded, the safety management of pools is critical.
A lawsuit from one of our clients against the City of Walnut Creek resulted in a $27.75 million verdict—the largest in the history of the county—for a 20-year-old state diving champion. He was rendered quadriplegic when he collided with a synchronized swimmer during diving practice in a public pool. The City of Walnut Creek, owner and operator of the pool, rented its dive pool to a diving team and a synchronized swimming team to hold practices at the same time without any means of separating the two inconsistent uses. The diver did not see a 15-year-old synchronized swimmer push off the wall under the diving board toward his landing area just as he began his dive. The pool now uses floating lane lines to separate the two groups.
In our more than 100 years of combined experience, we have compiled a winning record on behalf of our clients. Our use of advanced courtroom technology and electronic case presentation frequently result in larger settlements for our clients.
