Potential Legal Claims for the Family of Syaire Wardlow?

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Apartment complex residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of safety provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this incident may have been prevented.  The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

• What safety measures were taken by the apartment complex owner and management to protect residents at the pool? 
• Is the pool in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
• Was life-saving equipment such as life rings and reaching poles easily accessible.
• Were water safety rules posted in a visible area for adults and children to review?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises.  Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate safety and security to protect its visitors, the family of Syaire Wardlow may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.
