Swimming Pool & Drowning Cases

According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Counsel, over 300 children under the age of 5 die each year in swimming pool drownings, and another 2000 visit emergency rooms. In some sunbelt regions, drowning has become the single, leading cause of death in the home for children under 5 years of age.

Paul has represented victims of drowning and other pool injuries beginning 1994, when he successfully sued a pool operator in the District of Columbia for the wrongful death of a young child. Inattentive and poorly trained lifeguards, and improper supervision led to this tragedy.

Recently, Paul was appointed by the District of Columbia Superior Court to serve as personal representative and guardian ad litem in a widely reported diving board injury case, Zukerberg v. District of Columbia, No. 03-CV-0729, where the District of Columbia Court of Appeals upheld a 5 million dollar jury award in favor a ten year-old child severely injured after losing his balance and falling from a diving board. Again, improper maintenance and inadequate supervision were to blame.
