Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Hassan Itoni of Dearborn, Michigan who was pulled from an outdoor pool at Kalahari Resorts water park in Sandusky, Ohio and pronounced dead at the hospital. According to news sources, the 3-year old Michigan boy drowned at a northern Ohio water park and was found face down in the children’s pool. Unfortunately, at the amusement park and swimming pool accident law firm of Reiff & Bily, we are all too familiar with swimming pool and amusement park accidents. Police referred to this drowning death as a tragic accident and the local coroner stated that the mother of the child lost sight of her son who did not know how to swim while he was playing with an older brother around the pool which ranged in 3 to 4 feet in depth.

Drowning or near drowning accidents in water parks is a huge problem in the summer months particularly when pool sites are crowded. Our amusement park and swimming pool accident lawyers are consulted on a number of cases each summer by families of children who are seriously injured in swimming pool accidents whether they be at camps, water parks, amusement parks or community pools. If a child is injured in your pool or anyone’s pool under your watch, you could be held liable for those injuries. If a child is injured at a water park or amusement park, the park owes the highest duty of care to all consumers to insure the safety of their customers. Constant supervision is also extremely important when children are playing near water. Drowning often happens silently and quickly, normally within a few seconds. Drowning accidents result in catastrophic brain injuries or deaths.
