Swimming pools are very dangerous, especially for young children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you not put a swimming pool in your yard until your child is at least five years old.

TIPP, the injury prevention program of the American Academy of Pediatrics, has offered tips to protect your children from drowning:

7. After the children are done swimming, secure the pool so they can’t get back into it.

NOTE: The AAP warns that teaching your child how to swim DOES NOT mean your child is safe in water.

          File in the proper court

             A Ohio tragic accident lawsuit can be filed either where the defendant resides or where the incident causing the death occurred. For instance, if a car accident happened in Lucas County and the defendant lived in Wood County, the lawsuit could be filed in either county.

            Certain jurisdictions are more friendly to plaintiffs than other jurisdictions. Sometimes that’s because certain judges have previously ruled on a particular issue  that might be highly relevant to a case. Your attorney’s experience and insight will be helpful in picking the best court for your case.

            For example, in one catastrophic car injury case, we filed suit in Detroit because the company of one defendant was based there. The realization that the case would be tried in front of a plaintiff-friendly Detroit jury forced the defendants to own up to their responsibilities. That resulted in a huge settlement for our client.

        Find the right experts.

            Experts can make or break your  Ohio wrongful death case. Experts are witnesses with a specialized knowledge base whose testimony is necessary to prove a case. Examples include economists, grief counselors, psychologists, accident reconstructionsts, coroners, doctors, scientists, and engineers.

            In our office, we have many ways to find the right experts. We belong to state and national plaintiff attorney organizations that have databases of various experts. Those organizations also have scouting reports on the experts who tend to testify mostly for defense attorneys. We also have a network of fellow plaintiff lawyers that we consult with on a regular basis to find the best experts.

            In one case, we hired an expert on a complicated liability issue. As the case progressed, a different issue emerged as the central theme of the case. The original expert referred us to the preeminent expert in the United States on the key issue. The second expert’s testimony essentially forced the defendants to pay our client a large settlement to resolve the case.
