July is Drowning Prevention Awareness Month, and for families spending time at pools, lakes, and recreation areas across Colorado and Wyoming this summer, it's a meaningful reminder that water safety depends on more than just good swimming skills.
When a drowning or near-drowning happens because a property owner failed to provide adequate fencing, supervision, safety equipment, or warnings, it’s a tragedy, and it may also be a case of premises liability. Families in that situation often don't realize they have legal options, or they feel too overwhelmed in the aftermath to ask.
If your family has been affected by a water-related accident this summer and you're not sure where to turn, we've put together a free guide that walks you through what to expect after an injury — step by step, in plain language. We're also happy to talk through your situation at no cost or obligation.
