Compensation for Drowning and Aquatic Accidents

Sadly, many instances of drowning and other aquatic accidents involve a victim who is a minor. When this situation arises, it often means that the victim will require extensive medical treatment and sometimes even a lifetime of care. Compensation for these types of accidents includes coverage of all special and general damages stemming from the injuries.

Special damages includes compensation for all out-of-pocket medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and loss of future income and benefits. Medical expenses include all transportation costs, hospitalization, medical procedures, medication, ongoing treatment, and costs of future care and rehabilitation. General damages include payment for all of the other losses associated with the accident, such as disability, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

In cases of fatal drowning and aquatic accidents, the family of the victim may also seek additional compensation in the form of a wrongful death lawsuit. Damages for wrongful death include payment for all final medical bills, funeral costs, burial costs, and compensation for the loss of love, guidance, companionship, and comfort.
