Options for compensation

This is one of the best paths to compensation. It involves taking a pool drowning lawsuit against the at-fault party. When you file this lawsuit, you are telling a court that the other person or entity you’re suing was responsible for the drowning accident. 

Therefore, the court will evaluate the strength of your case at a trial. It determines whether to make the allegedly at-fault party compensate you for your damages. 

Different types of lawsuits depending on the outcome of your drowning accident:

  • If the drowning accident was fatal: you can file a wrongful death lawsuit. 
  • If the drowning accident was non-fatal: you can file a personal injury claim. 

Making an insurance claim means filing a claim for compensation with the insurance company. By filing a pool drowning lawsuit claim, you will notify the insurance company that they are financially responsible for the resulting injuries. 

In addition, after you initiate your claim, the insurance company will assign a claim adjuster to your case. They will investigate your claim and determine whether the insurance company is responsible for paying you or not. 

Reaching a settlement

A settlement is when the parties in a legal dispute strike a bargain where the party accused of being at fault agrees to compensate the injured party. Furthermore, in exchange, the injured party promises to not pursue the claim any further.
