Why Your Family Needs a Drowning Wrongful Death Attorney
Drowning cases are premises liability claims, and property owners and their insurers move quickly to shift blame onto the victim or claim the death was unavoidable. You need an attorney who can preserve the physical evidence, prove the safety failures, and connect them to your loved one's death before the scene is altered.
Evidence disappears fast
Broken gates get fixed, alarms get installed, and water conditions change within days of a drowning. We act immediately to document the scene before it's altered.
Florida has specific pool safety laws
The Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act and local codes require barriers, gates, and alarms. We use these standards to prove exactly how the owner failed.
Owners blame the victim
Insurers often argue the swimmer was careless or trespassing. We counter these tactics and refocus the case on the owner's duty to keep the property safe.
Multiple parties may share fault
Homeowners, HOAs, resorts, management companies, maintenance contractors, and equipment makers can all bear responsibility. We pursue every one.
Damages must account for a lifetime
A wrongful death claim must value decades of lost support, guidance, and companionship — especially in a child's death. We make sure your family is never shortchanged.
Drowning Cases Our Attorneys Handle
Drowning deaths happen at private pools, resorts, apartment complexes, and waterparks across Central Florida. Whatever the setting, if negligence took your loved one, our Orlando wrongful death lawyers are here to fight for your family.
Explore Our Wrongful Death PracticeWhat to Do After a Fatal Drowning Accident
In the painful days after losing a loved one, a few steps can protect your family's right to answers and accountability.
Document the Scene
If you can, photograph the pool, fencing, gates, alarms, signage, and water conditions right away — before anything is repaired or changed.
Get the Incident Report
Request any incident report from the property, resort, or 911/EMS response. Note the names of staff, lifeguards, and witnesses present.
Preserve All Records
Keep medical records, the death certificate, billing statements, and any communications from the property owner or their insurer.
Don't Sign or Settle
Do not sign waivers, releases, or accept any settlement from the property owner or insurer before an attorney reviews them.
Don't Post on Social Media
Defense teams monitor social media and may take posts out of context to argue your loved one was at fault.

Loss of financial support
The income, benefits, and services the deceased would have provided to the family over their lifetime
Loss of companionship & guidance
The emotional loss of a spouse's companionship, a parent's guidance, or a child's love and affection
Mental pain and suffering
The anguish, grief, and emotional distress experienced by surviving family members
Medical expenses
Emergency response, hospitalization, and treatment costs incurred between the accident and death
Funeral & burial costs
Reasonable funeral, burial, or cremation expenses borne by the family
Lost prospective net accumulations
The value of the estate the deceased likely would have left to survivors had they lived a full life
Loss of parental guidance
For minor children, the value of the instruction, moral guidance, and training they will now miss
Punitive damages
In cases of gross negligence or reckless disregard for safety, courts may award additional damages
Florida Pool Safety & Wrongful Death Law
Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (F.S. § 515) requires residential pools to have at least one approved safety feature — a barrier, a self-closing and self-latching gate, an approved pool cover, or door and window alarms. Commercial pools, resorts, and waterparks face additional Department of Health regulations. Violations of these standards can be powerful evidence of negligence.
Drowning claims are governed by premises liability law: property owners owe a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe and to warn of known dangers. Florida's “attractive nuisance” doctrine is especially important in child drownings, holding owners responsible when an unsecured pool draws children onto the property.
Under the Wrongful Death Act, your family has two years from the date of death to file. Because drowning cases depend on physical evidence that changes quickly, contacting our Orlando wrongful death attorneys early gives your case the strongest foundation.
Florida Statute of Limitations
You generally have 2 years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida. Evidence at a pool or resort changes fast — contact our Orlando drowning accident attorneys today at (407) 777-8888.
