Areas of Practice | Drowning Accidents
Drowning is the leading cause of all accidental deaths among small children (one to four years of age) and the second leading cause among all children from one to 14 years of age, following only motor vehicle accidents.

Drowning happens in a number of places like:
  • Swimming pools
  • Recreational waterways
  • Lakes
  • Ponds
  • Spas
  • Hot tubs
  • Bathtubs
In non-fatal cases brain damage generally results after four minutes of submersion and an estimated 20 percent of these victims will suffer severe, permanent neurological damage. Negligence plays a part in many drowning and near-drowning cases. This can occur because of lack of supervision, security or a problem with the premises.
