Massachusetts Drowning Injury Cases at Kiley Law Group

Warm weather outdoor activities are one of the highlights of summer fun. Trips to the beach, pool and other water-related activities are typically the norm when the temperature spikes. However, beyond the surface summer fun lurks a silent danger: drowning.

Drowning can be one of the most swift and unexpected accidents that can result in injury or death. Young people, especially very small children, are susceptible to drowning, and it is one of the leading causes of unintentional death in children under 15. Most drowning events in young people occur following a brief lapse in attention by a parent, caregiver or professional. In the event that a person drowns as a result of the negligence of a responsible party, whether from a lapse of attention or inadequate facilities, you may be able to pursue compensation through personal injury.

Every second a person is deprived of oxygen can cause a substantial and lasting impact on their quality of life. With each moment that passes, a person can experience catastrophic injuries, including brain damage and death. Brain damage from drowning can range in severity and typically requires long-term physical care for the victim, and emotional care and support for the victim’s family. These accidents must be handled with sensitivity and care, and Kiley Law Group has been helping families through these situations for 40 years. Through compassionate and attentive care, our attorneys have been able to obtain the compensation the victim and family members need following a drowning. Call us today.
