Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the facts, severity of injuries, and impact on your daily life.

There are exceptions, and some cases may have shorter or longer deadlines depending on who is liable and where the incident occurred.

Many pool accident cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. An attorney can prepare the case for trial while pursuing favorable settlements through negotiation and mediation.
