California Drowning Statistics

According to the California Water Safety Coalition, important drowning statistics are:

• More than 400 drowning deaths occur in California each year on average.
• More than 1,000 non-fatal drownings occur in California each year on average.
• 75% of fatal drownings in California are suffered by men.
• Nearly 50% of all drowning deaths in California occur in June, July, and August.
• Children aged 0-4 years and seniors 75 years or older are twice as likely to fatally drown than other age groups.

Water Park Accidents

Water parks have a responsibility to keep all visitors safe from drowning risks. Lifeguards should be posted throughout the park to watch guests and react immediately to crises. Life preservers and life jackets should be available to visitors who need them. When such safety protocols are ignored, guests can fall victim to drowning accidents—and the water park may be held liable through a lawsuit.

At The Doan Law Firm, our legal team has the experience, knowledge, and resources needed to file drowning accident claims against large water parks throughout California. If your family has suffered due to a water park’s negligent safety measures, let us know about it right away.

California is home to many large and popular water parks, such as:

• Raging Waters Los Angeles
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles
• DryTown Water Park
• The Cove Water Park
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord
• Wake Island Waterpark
• Wild Rivers
• Many others

Boat Accidents

Thanks to the massive coastline, boating is one of the most popular pastimes in California, especially during the summer. Safety must remain the first priority when boating, though, or the risk of a drowning accident can increase significantly.

Did you suffer a near-fatal drowning accident or lose a loved one to a boating accident in California? We can investigate the situation to see if any third parties can be held liable for your losses. Depending on the situation, we might have to file against an individual boat owner or a company or property that allows boating like a marina.

Marinas, harbors, and similar boating areas in California are numerous, including:

• Marina del Rey
• Newport Harbor
• Alamitos Bay Marina
• San Francisco Marina
• Santa Barbara Harbor
• Oceanside Harbor
• Ventura Harbor
• Dana Point Harbor

Swimming Pool Accidents

What may be a surprise to learn, swimming pools are the most dangerous bodies of water for drowning accidents in California. It is estimated that more accidental drownings occur in swimming pools than even in the Pacific Ocean off California’s coast.

Our law firm has built a long history of successful drowning accident case results, with many of our most impressive victories having been won for swimming pool accident clients. We can handle complex lawsuits involving drowning accidents at private swimming pools, public pools, hotel or gymnasium pools, and so on. If there has been an accident in a swimming pool anywhere in California, we should be the first law office you call for legal help.

What is Your Drowning Accident Claim Worth?

Your drowning accident claim has a “worth” or “value,” which is the total amount of compensation you should be given by the defendant based on your harm and losses. We know how to carefully calculate each client’s damages, so each case has the highest worth possible. Whether your case can be settled out of court or goes to trial for litigation before a judge and jury, we will be ready to fight for your fair recovery.

Compensation that may add to the worth of your California drowning accident claim are:

• Past and future medical treatment costs.
• Cost of final medical care provided to a deceased loved one.
• Past and future lost wages and income earning capacity.
• Pain, suffering, and disability.

In rare cases, a drowning accident claim might be eligible to pursue punitive damages, which are used to punish the defendant instead of compensating the plaintiff. Punitive damages are only used when the defendant acted with truly unacceptable negligence or intentional wrongdoing, so they are not available in every case.
