Common Swimming Pool Injuries Lindsey Handles
Over the years, Lindsey McKay has represented clients in a wide array of swimming pool injury cases. Below are some of the most common types of incidents she handles, showcasing her ability to address diverse and challenging situations:
1. Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Uneven surfaces, slippery pool decks, and improper maintenance are among the top causes of slip-and-fall accidents around pools. These incidents can result in severe injuries such as fractures, spinal damage, or concussions. Lindsey excels in highlighting negligence, whether it stems from poor maintenance or failure to warn guests of hazards.
2. Diving Injuries
Improperly marked pool depths or lack of “no diving” warnings can lead to life-altering injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage. Lindsey diligently investigates these cases to hold responsible parties accountable. Whether the injury occurred at a residential property, a public facility, or a hotel pool, she ensures that justice is pursued.
3. Lack of Proper Supervision
Supervision is particularly critical when children are involved. Accidents caused by distracted or absent lifeguards or adults can result in tragic drownings or near-drownings. Lindsey is a fierce advocate in such cases, seeking justice against those who failed to provide adequate monitoring.
4. Defective Pool Equipment
Faulty pool pumps, broken ladders, or malfunctioning drains can also lead to serious injuries. Lindsey works with expert witnesses to identify product defects and present compelling evidence against manufacturers or property owners responsible for maintaining pool equipment.
5. Chemical-Related Injuries
Improper use or storage of pool chemicals can cause burns, respiratory issues, or even poisoning. Lindsey applies her knowledge of premises liability and product safety laws to ensure victims get the compensation they deserve.
