The firm handles slip and falls, negligent security, swimming pool accidents, and other premises liability claims across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Video Transcript **Allan Siegel (00:02):** We are a personal injury law firm. That is the only type of work that this law firm does. If you were injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, then that’s a case that we would handle. So what does that include? Car crash cases. It includes bicycle crash cases, scooter cases, pedestrian accident cases, truck crash cases. It includes bus cases, all of those things, but it also includes situations where you might be hurt on somebody else’s premises. For example, maybe you were hurt at a business, maybe you slipped and fell because they didn’t maintain their floor in a safe condition. **Ira Sherman (00:40):** The insurance company knows that we are aggressive, we are creative. We have the funds to fund a case and hire experts, and as a result, they distinguish us in a category of law firms that they need to know and do know that we can take the case from day one all the way through trial successfully. **Stephen Ollar (01:05):** Insurance is an important factor, not just the insurance coverage on the vehicle that struck you, but also if you have additional insurance coverage that may compensate you if you have very serious injuries. The degree of your injury is important. **Joseph Cammarata (01:21):** Our approach is victim oriented in the sense that we are concerned for the wellbeing of our clients. We do everything to better their lot in life. A person that’s injured in a crash or bike accidents or pedestrian accidents, their life typically gets turned upside down. And we try to right that balance. **Allan Siegel (01:57):** If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or as a result of somebody else’s intentional act, that’s a case that we would handle and that’s a case that you should call us to consult with us on. # Drowning Accident Lawyer in Washington, DC ## Call for a FREE Consultation Unintentional drowning and near-drowning accidents devastate the lives of thousands of families each year. As the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S., according to the CDC, drowning accidents can affect anyone. However, children and toddlers face the greatest risks of drowning fatalities and near-drowning injuries. While drowning and near-drowning are tragic accidents, some may involve legal liability. This does not mean that drowning was intentional, but rather that the negligence of individuals or entities led to the drowning or near-drowning incident. When negligence plays a role in a water-related death or injury, victims and families may have the right to seek justice and financial compensation by pursuing a personal injury or [wrongful death](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/wrongful-death/) lawsuit. If you or someone you love has suffered injuries in a near-drowning accident, or if you have lost a loved one due to drowning, you can find the support and representation you need with Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. Our award-winning DC lawyers have helped thousands of clients throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC following preventable accidents, and have leveraged our experience and resources to help them recover millions of dollars in compensation. ### Why Choose Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C.? * **Over $250 Million in Compensation Recovered** * **More Than 90 Years of Collective Experience** * **Licensed in DC, Maryland, and Virginia** * **Three Partners Recognized by DC Super Lawyers® (2011-2017)** **Discuss your case during a free case evaluation. [Contact us](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/contact-us/) today.** ### Drowning Risks & Children Drowning and near-drowning have consistently been a leading cause of unintentional injury and death nationwide, especially among young children. Drownings and near-drownings also increase significantly during summer months. These accidents can occur in a variety of settings, including private and public swimming pools, bathtubs, and natural bodies of water. * **Drowning** – According to statistics from the CDC, drowning accounts for roughly 10 deaths every day in the U.S., with roughly half of these deaths involving children 14 and younger. Children ages 4 and younger have the highest risks of drowning, particularly in bathtubs and swimming pools. In fact, drowning causes more deaths among toddlers ages 1-4 than any other cause aside from birth defects * **Near-Drowning** – Near-drowning incidents are drowning incidents that do not result in death, but which still require medical attention. As with drowning, young children are most at risk of suffering near-drowning and submersion injuries, which can cause serious harm due to oxygen deprivation. Nonfatal drowning injuries often result in severe brain injuries that can cause long-term disabilities. Although children have the highest rates of injury and death in unintentional drowning and near-drowning incidents, people of all ages can become drowning victims. For example, more than half of all fatal and nonfatal drowning accidents among victims ages 15 and older occur in natural bodies of water. Regardless of age, drowning risks increase when individuals lack sufficient swimming ability, injure themselves while diving, fail to wear life jackets, or when there is negligent or inadequate supervision. ### Drowning & Legal Liability Drowning and near-drowning are always tragic accidents, but some are preventable if not for negligence. When it comes to drowning and legal liability, there are several factors that come into play, one of which is premises liability.[Premises liability](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/premises-liability/) requires property owners to ensure potential hazards on their premises are reasonably addressed, and that they provide safe conditions for visitors and guests. When they fail to do so as a result of negligence, they can potentially be held liable for harm suffered by victims. **Negligence can play a role in preventable drowning and near-drowning accidents in a number of ways, and in a number of settings, including bathtubs, beaches, lakes, and swimming pools at a private residence, HOA community, or public facility:** * Negligent supervision by swimming pool owners, instructors, or lifeguards * Inadequately trained counsellors, instructors, or lifeguards * Lack of lifeguard on duty * Lack of adequate pool fencing or gates, or defective gates * Design or manufacturing deaths of pool or spa equipment ### Discuss Your Case During a FREE Consultation Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. has helped thousands of clients throughout the DC Metro area following preventable accidents, including drowning accidents and injuries involving children.
