Ontario Personal Injury Lawyers
While almost everyone loves the idea of spending a beautiful summer afternoon in the pool, many people do not fully comprehend the dangers that a pool can pose, particularly for young children and teens. In the blink of an eye, lives of entire families can change forever as a result of drowning or other pool-related injuries.
In Toronto and throughout Ontario, there has been an increase in the number of drowning incidents involving youth and adults in private and public pools. In fact, the provincial government has instituted a swimming requirement for students in an effort to ensure our youth are able to swim safely.
At Strype Barristers LLP, we understand how to determine liability in these cases and have the legal skills to obtain the full compensation you are entitled to if your loved one has been injured or killed as a result of pool-owner negligence. Our lawyers have represented clients throughout Ontario in more than 250 personal injury and wrongful death trials.
The most common source of compensation in cases involving private pools is homeowner's insurance policy. We are skilled at determining liability quickly and making sure our clients receive the full compensation they need to take care of both short-term and long-term needs resulting from a pool accident.
If your claim involves a municipal or publicly owned pool, it is important to realize that the case will be vigorously defended, as municipalities face a large amount of legal exposure. We have the resources and skills to craft a clear, thorough case on your behalf, increasing your likelihood of success against a well-equipped defense team.
