Near-Drowning Accidents
Drowning Lawyer Serving Victims and Their Families
Any type of accident is capable of causing serious injury or death. Near-drowning accidents are particularly dangerous as our bodies and brains require oxygen to be able to function and survive. When an individual is deprived of oxygen for a period of time, as can happen when submerged under water, the body will begin to shut down, the individual will likely lose consciousness and water may end up entering the lungs. Individuals who survive after almost drowning are often left with severe, life-changing injuries and some degree of temporary or permanent brain damage.
