Each state governs commercial pools and spas. These pools are usually defined as Class "C" pools or public pools. A class "C" pool is a commercial pool such as a hotel, condominium, resort, water park, or other privately owned or public pool. These pools must be maintained and operated according to the rules of each state such as The Texas Department of Health and Safety Standards for Pools and Spas. A pool that does not follow Department of Health standards is in violation of state codes and regulations and must cease operation immediately until the pool has rectified the violation and been given authority from the local government agency to reopen the pool. Pool drownings resulting in catastrophic injury or death can be avoided if pool safety guidelines are followed. If you have lost a loved one in a Class "C" pool that was in violation of state regulations, contact the experienced Texas swimming pool lawyers at Hilliard Muñoz Guerra L.L.P. to discuss your case.
Water clarity is one of the most important swimming pool safety guidelines. Water clarity is essential for rescue efforts of children submerged and in need of help. For a pool to be in compliance , you MUST be able to clearly see the drain of the pool in the deepest part. A shepherd's hook and other safety equipment, such as throw ropes and buoys, are essential life saving equipment that may be used to rescue swimmers who need help. When pool owners fail to have the necessary safety equipment on hand, and injury or death results, a qualified Texas pool accident attorney can help victims and their loved ones receive compensation for their injuries.
