Tampa Swimming Accident Lawyer

How a Tampa Swimming Accident Lawyer Can Help

Drownings and pool injuries often trace back to inadequate safety measures. We pursue the owners responsible.

Drownings and near-drownings often trace back to inadequate fencing, missing safety equipment, absent supervision, or a hidden hazard at a pool or beach. Property owners and operators owe a real duty to guard against these foreseeable dangers, especially where children are present.

We investigate the safety measures that were required and the ones that were missing, and we pursue the owners and operators whose failures led to the tragedy.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• ✓Past and future medical expenses
• ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

Swimming Accidents FAQs

How much does a Tampa swimming accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles swimming accidents cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a swimming accidents claim in Florida?

Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.

What is my swimming accidents case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.

Do I have to go to court for a swimming accidents case?

Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
