Michigan drowning injury lawyers frequently represent clients who have suffered drowning deaths and injuries. A detailed knowledge and understanding of these type of deaths and injuries is essential to achieving the best possible settlement for the drowning victim and his or her family. Many of these cases are wrongful death cases.
Drowning Deaths And Injuries
Drowning deaths and injuries frequently occur due to the negligence of others. Depending on the circumstances, the drowning victim and his or her family may have legal rights to be compensated, including money damages for pain and suffering, disability, medical bills, and lost wages. Drowning is death by suffocation that occurs within the first 24 hours after being submerged in water. Near drowning is survival or temporary survival that lasts longer than the 24-hour period after submersion. For every drowning, there are 4 near drownings. Most drownings occur within a short distance of safety and can be prevented.
