The Lasting Consequences of Drowning & Near-Drowning Injuries
Drowning accidents don’t always result in death. Near-drowning events can cause anoxic brain injury, a condition that occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen, resulting in permanent cognitive, physical, or neurological damage. Survivors can face years of hospitalization, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. Those costs, and the full impact on the victim and their family, are central to any claim we pursue.
When a drowning accident is fatal, Texas law allows the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased to bring a wrongful death claim. Recoverable damages can include medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and the mental anguish of those left behind. We handle all communications with insurance companies and, when necessary, pursue litigation to protect our clients’ interests.
How We Handle Drowning Accident Claims in Corpus Christi
Every drowning accident claim begins with a thorough investigation. We gather medical records, incident reports, maintenance logs, surveillance footage, and witness statements to establish how the accident occurred and who was responsible. Our attorneys evaluate all potentially liable parties, including property owners, operators, equipment manufacturers, and boat operators, before developing a legal strategy suited to the specific facts of the case.
From that foundation, we prepare a detailed demand package documenting how the accident happened, the victim’s medical treatment and recovery, and the full scope of financial and personal losses. If insurers won’t offer a fair resolution, our litigation experience gives us the standing to take the case further. Throughout the process, clients receive direct attorney access, regular case updates, and clear explanations at every stage.
