Army Ranger Veteran and Swimming Pool Injury Lawyer

At Van Riper & Nies, we are dedicated to the needs of our injured clients and their families. The Van Riper & Nies difference is in the details. We are known for leaving no stone unturned in the representation of our clients at trial. With the large number of swimming pools in Florida, our state has the most swimming pool related injuries and deaths in the country.  Our trial lawyers are experienced in representing individuals and families who have sustained injuries or have lost loved ones due to negligence of others.  Our  personal injury trial teams are dedicated to achieving significant results for injured victims and their families .

Most swimming pool injuries occur because of many reasons, including: 

• Failure to secure the swimming pool from children, such as by leaving a gate open. 
• Dangerous pool design and construction. 
• Failure to properly maintain the swimming in a safe condition. 
• Lack of pool safety devices. 
• Chemical exposure. 
• Electrocution. 
• Diving board and slide accidents. 
• Failure to provide proper lifeguard supervision. 
• Falls on slippery surfaces near pools or hot tubs.

Swimming accidents claim the lives of over 1,000 children each year and accidents in swimming pools account for over 1/3 of those fatalities. In addition to the deaths of innocent kids, thousands of adults die or sustain serious injuries annually in swimming accidents. 

Liability for swimming pool or hot tub accidents in Florida involves three general types of law - negligence (tort law), product liability law and premises liability law. These laws are complicated and require the services of a personal injury trial attorney with experience handling serious pool injury cases .

Our Stuart attorneys do not charge a fee unless we win and obtain compensation for your harms and losses. All our personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, meaning we do not take a fee or charge any costs unless we win.
