Dallas Drowning Lawyers

We Demand Answers After Drowning, Near-Drowning & Pool Accidents

Every day, about 10 people lose their lives in drowning accidents, making unintentional drowning the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 20% of these victims are children aged 14 and younger.

It’s been over 15 years since Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin partnered to create Arnold & Itkin, which is now known as one of the top trial firms in the country.

Nonfatal Drowning Injuries

Swimming pool and other water accidents are not always fatal. Near-drownings can cause serious injuries that affect a victim and his or her family in many ways, far worse than other types of accidents. According to the CDC, half of all near-drowning victims who receive emergency treatment require hospitalization, as opposed to only 6% of people who require hospitalization for all unintentional injuries.

The consequences of near-drowning can include:

Brain damage
Memory problems
Learning disabilities
Permanent loss of basic functioning (permanent vegetative state)
