Understanding Pool Accident Liability in Austin

Swimming pool accident liability cases in Texas involve city regulations, statewide laws, and careful review of the facts. Our team has handled pool and premises liability cases throughout Austin, bringing deep local insight to each situation.

Who May Be Held Responsible?

Determining who is accountable involves looking at property owners, landlords, facility managers, pool contractors, and occasionally, manufacturers of faulty pool equipment. In Austin, the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code and local safety ordinances require property owners to maintain safe pool conditions, secure barriers, and clear warnings. Failure to meet these standards can result in liability.
