In the state of California, a gang of experienced Los Angeles injury lawyers like a slip and fall attorney are having to deal with an in-flow of cases involving pool accidents. The laws in the state decree that all land owners with swimming pools or open and exposed jacuzzi/hot tubs have to cordon off the area surrounding it with five ft high fencing. On top of this it is advised to use special child-proof gates and have clear access areas. Yet regardless of all of this, in the year of 2009 (the most recent year for stats) the CDC said that 424 folk drowned in swimming pool related deaths in the state of California alone. On top of this, another 1605 folk were checked in to hospital with injuries that were caused in and around pools, hot tubs and jacuzzi’s.
