Personal Injury Lawyer in Riverside

Serving Riverside’s Residents of Personal Injury

Riverside, California, considered part of the Greater Los Angeles area, is the 12th most populous city in California. Famous as the birthplace of the California citrus industry, Riverside is home to the California Citrus State Historic Park and the Mission Inn, the largest mission revival style building in the United States, now a magnificent hotel and spa. The lovely University of California Riverside Botanic Gardens, as well as the university itself, also draw people to the city, as do The March Field Air Museum, Sherman Indian Museum, and the warm Southern California climate.

No city, no matter how pleasant, is immune to accidents and injuries. Not surprisingly, in Riverside, a city practically afloat with swimming pools, some of these accidents concern swimming, diving, or slipping on wet poolside surfaces. Many such accidents are caused by someone else’s negligence.

How Is Negligence Defined?

Negligence is legally defined as the failure to exercise the level of care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under the same circumstances. When this standard is applied to swimming pool accidents, it may include a range of carelessness on the part of the pool’s owner, such as failure to:

Maintain adequate fencing or gates around the pool
Repair broken ladders or railings
Have a lifeguard present
Have lifesaving devices available
Have lights for nighttime swimming
Keep the water clean and/or appropriately chlorinated
Warn swimmers of potential dangers

If you have been seriously hurt in a swimming pool accident in Riverside due to the negligence of the pool owner, once the medical emergency is under control, you should contact J&Y Law to discuss your legal options.

Types of Damages

Generally, when there is a negligent party involved in a swimming pool accident, the case is one of premises liability, referring to the duty of property owners to maintain their property to keep others safe. There are two basic types of compensation that, depending on the specifics of your case, may be available:

Compensatory Damages

Compensatory damages cover medical and rehabilitation costs, the amount of your lost wages (present and future), and awards for your pain and suffering.

Punitive Damages

If your case is litigated, the court may find that the negligent party’s conduct was especially egregious, in which case punitive damages may be awarded. This action is taken both to punish the defendant and to discourage others from engaging in similarly reckless behavior.

There are also cases in which the court may consider the victim of the accident to have been partially responsible for the injuries suffered. This might occur, for example, if the injured party was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs at the time of the event. In such cases, the amount of compensation will be diminished to the degree that the injured party is considered complicit in his or her own accident.
