Property Owner Responsibilities Under Florida Law

Florida’s laws are very strict regarding pool safety, especially because of the danger they pose to children. The “attractive nuisance” doctrine holds that property owners can be liable for injuries to trespassing children if they have an unsecured, alluring feature like a pool. Furthermore, the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act requires specific safety measures for home pools.

Our firm handles accident claims involving:

- Private backyard pools
- Apartment and condominium complex pools
- Hotel and resort pools
- Public and community pools
- Water parks and recreational facilities

Common Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents

Most pool accidents are preventable and occur due to property owner negligence. Common safety failures include:

- Lack of Proper Fencing and Gates: Failure to install a four-sided isolation fence with self-closing, self-latching gates as required by law.
- Broken or Defective Gates/Latches: Allowing young children to gain unsupervised access.
- Inadequate Supervision: Lack of a qualified lifeguard at a public pool or leaving children unattended.
- Poor Maintenance: Unsafe drain covers that can cause entrapment, cloudy water obscuring a submerged person, or slippery, cracked pool decks.
- Missing or Defective Safety Equipment: Lack of life rings, shepherd’s hooks, or other required rescue equipment.
- Lack of Warning Signs: Failure to post “No Diving” signs in shallow areas or display pool rules.
