Diving Board Injuries

Swimming while spending time with friends or family around a pool is a great way to enjoy a hot summer day. Despite the fun, swimming pools can be dangerous to both children and adults. Diving board injuries are a prime example. The attorneys at Duke Burleson & Associates provide years of courtroom experience to those families and individuals who have suffered an injury or lost a loved one due to a diving board incident.

At Duke Burleson & Associates we understand the hardships associated with such an injury or loss. The personal injury attorneys at Duke Burleson & Associates can help with the issues of medical bills, loss of employment, disability, and many other difficult situations.

A pool owner must take reasonable steps to ensure the diving board and diving areas are safe. This can be as simple as ensuring proper installment, maintenance, surface grips (prevents feet from slipping while standing on the board), positioning, and supervision of the diving board.

• Head Injury
• Brain Injury
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Back Injury
• Neck Injury
