Understanding Pool Chemical Accidents

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, pool chemicals can cause a variety of injuries. While pool chemicals are meant to be added to a large volume of water, dangerous reactions can occur if they are mixed with smaller amounts of water, including high temperatures and toxic gas emissions.

Pool chemicals can also result in accidents or injuries when mixed incorrectly. This can happen when using the same tools to measure or move different chemicals, when residue left on a container mixes with a new chemical, or when chemicals are spilled.

Although pool accidents are not intentional, a variety of individuals can be held legally responsible depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident. For example, if the pool maintenance company showed negligence in storing or using pool chemicals, they may be liable for any injuries sustained as a result. Similarly, if pool operator negligence appears to be a factor in the accident, that individual or company can also be legally responsible.
