These are very significant cases, and like any serious personal injury matter, catastrophic personal injury matter, and wrongful death investigation, require attention to detail. Indeed, proving fault requires critical review and analysis of the key evidence, not only by the attorney, but by appropriate experts.

Contact us to review your circumstances and prompt evaluation.

There are both federal and Florida laws and regulations which govern most spa injury, including spa drain entrapment. There are also several industry standards which may be applied to prove the fault of responsible parties.

Pool Drain, Spa Drain Standards and Regulations

Each swimming pool or spa drain cover manufactured, distributed, or sold n the United States must have a drain safety cover under federal law. Additionally, every public pool and spa (pump) with a single main drain, other than an unblockable drain, must now be equipped with one or more additional devices or systems designed to prevent suction entrapment that meet the industry requirements.

Pools and spas must also, in addition to a having a compliant drain cover, those additional devices or systems to immediately stop vacuum suction of the drain in the event of entrapment, including a safety vacuum release system (SVRS), or suction limiting vent system, or gravity drainage system, or automatic pump shutoff system, or drain disablement, or other system determined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to be equally effective in preventing suction entrapment.

There are additional federal and Florida safety requirements for pools and spas, including barriers to entry that will effectively prevent small children from gaining unsupervised and unfettered access; and Suction Entrapment Avoidance systems.
