Long Island Drowning Accident Lawyers

Liable Parties in a Long Island Drowning Accident Case

Liability in a drowning case can fall on several parties. Pool owners, municipalities, hotels, summer camps, beach clubs, and even boat operators can all be held responsible depending on the circumstances. In some cases, a product manufacturer may be liable if defective pool equipment contributed to the accident. We investigate every angle to identify who is truly at fault.

How Sullivan & Sullivan, LLP Fights for Drowning Accident Victims

We do not hand your case off to a paralegal and wait. Our attorneys personally investigate what happened, gather evidence, consult with experts, and build the strongest possible case on your behalf. We deal directly with insurance companies, so you do not have to, and we are fully prepared to take your case to trial if a fair settlement is not offered.

Compensation You May Be Entitled to After a Drowning Accident

Victims and families may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. Near-drowning survivors sometimes face permanent brain damage or organ damage that requires ongoing treatment. Every case is different, but we work to make sure nothing is left on the table.

Wrongful Death Claims After a Fatal Drowning Accident

Losing a family member to a drowning accident is devastating. New York law allows surviving family members to file a wrongful death claim to recover funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of companionship. These cases are time-sensitive and emotionally difficult. We handle them with both urgency and care.

How New York Law Protects Drowning Accident Victims

New York’s premises liability laws require property owners to maintain safe conditions around water. Public beaches and pools are subject to additional regulations. When those standards are violated and someone is hurt, the law provides a path to justice.
