The loss of a child is an unimaginable tragedy, and when that loss occurs due to a preventable drowning at an apartment complex or Airbnb, the pain is even more devastating. Families are left grappling with grief, unanswered questions, and the urgent need for accountability. At Rafaeli Law Firm, we stand with these families, fighting relentlessly to ensure justice is served and negligent parties are held responsible.
Understanding Premises Liability in Drowning Cases
Property owners, including landlords, apartment complex managers, and short-term rental hosts, have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for residents and guests. When they fail to implement proper safety measures, they can be held liable for tragic accidents, including child drownings. Common forms of negligence in these cases include:
- Lack of Proper Pool Barriers: Florida law requires apartment complexes and vacation rentals to have secure fencing and self-latching gates around pools to prevent accidental drownings.
- Defective or Missing Safety Equipment: Lifesaving tools such as life rings, pool alarms, and emergency instructions should always be present.
- Failure to Enforce Safety Rules: Clear signage, depth markers, and rules about pool use must be displayed and enforced to ensure guest safety.
- Negligent Supervision Policies: If a property advertises a pool but does not provide sufficient warnings or guidelines, it can contribute to preventable tragedies.
