Pool Drowning
Over 3500 deaths occur every year by pool drowning
There is no such thing as a minor pool accident or drowning injury. Few drowning victims survive. A child who goes several minutes without oxygen may live, but he or she may need lifetime care due to a brain injury. A teenager diving into shallow water may appear to recover but later in life may develop paralysis as a result of nerve damage.
Attorney Tom Woodruff has been representing clients throughout the Tampa and St. Petersburg area since 1969. As a Florida personal injury lawyer, he has extensive experience with pool drowning claims as well as with Florida premises liability law. He provides his clients with compassionate counsel and powerful legal representation.
