POOL CHEMICAL LEAK ATTORNEYS

PUBLIC & PRIVATE POOL CHEMICAL LEAKS

When you take a dip in a pool, the last thing you should worry about is being burned by the chemicals used to treat and disinfect the water. Unfortunately, many recreational pools in resorts and public areas do not properly maintain safe conditions and, instead, fail to provide a safe swimming environment for guests.

If you, your child, or your loved one was burned or suffered harmful exposure to chlorine or other pool chemicals in a public or private pool, reach out to Potts Law Firm right away. Our experienced trial lawyers can help you understand your legal rights, including the right to seek fair financial compensation for your resulting damages. We have considerable experience in toxic exposure and tort law; to date, our team has recovered well over $1 billion in compensation for our clients.

THE EFFECTS OF CHLORINE EXPOSURE

Pools need constant upkeep and continuous treatment. Chlorine, the chemical added to eliminate impurities and prevent illnesses and outbreaks, is a necessity; however, improper use of this chemical can cause serious injuries and illnesses. If exposure is high enough, chlorine can cause chemical burns through either direct contact or chlorine gas vapors.

Severe and/or prolonged exposure to chlorine can cause:

  • Breathing issues
  • Skin irritation
  • Chemical pneumonia
  • Burning in the eyes or throat
  • Stomach issues

Chlorine is highly corrosive and can cause significant damage to a person’s skin, as well. If you suspect that you were injured due to toxic exposure to chlorine or other chemicals used to treat a public or private swimming pool, you could be entitled to financial compensation.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CHLORINE EXPOSURE?

In small doses, chlorine presents few risks to humans. However, high concentrations of chlorine can lead to numerous adverse effects.

Some of the most common symptoms of exposure to a dangerous concentration of chlorine include:

  • Burning pain
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Coughing, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea
  • Blurred vision
  • Blistering or burning sensations in the mouth or throat
  • Skin blisters and redness
  • Stomach pain
  • Eye irritation
  • Chemical pneumonia from inhaling dangerous fumes
  • Skin damage and injuries

Public pool owners, managers, and pool personnel are expected to closely regulate chemical levels to prevent such leaks from occurring and should be held liable for their negligence. Unfortunately, pool chemical leaks are a common occurrence. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pool chemical leaks lead to about 4,500 emergency department visits in the United States every year.

HOW DOES TOXIC CHLORINE EXPOSURE OCCUR?

Unfortunately, a significant portion of swimming pool accidents are caused by improper chemical treatment handling and upkeep. In other words, the most common cause of toxic or harmful chlorine exposure is human error/negligence.

Specific examples include:

  • Using improper pool chemicals
  • Using an insufficient amount of chemicals needed for the pool
  • Improper chemical storage by employees
  • Improper storage of harmful substances, such as chlorine
  • Using excessive concentrations of chlorine
  • Accidental ingestion of high levels of chemicals in the pool
  • Lack of proper employee training or supervision
  • Failure to implement or follow safety standards

At Potts Law Firm, we carefully investigate these claims to determine the cause of our client’s injuries. Our team works with industry experts and specialists who provide powerful testimony on behalf of our clients. We utilize all available evidence to develop innovative legal strategies and aggressively pursue maximum compensation for victims of harmful chlorine exposure and pool chemical leaks.

DAMAGES IN POOL CHEMICAL LEAK CLAIMS
