Drowning in City-Run Lap Pool Leads to Lawsuit
The Daily Astorian reports that the husband of an Oregon woman who drowned in a city-run lap pool has filed a personal injury lawsuit for $600,000. The lawsuit alleges that the city failed to provide an adequate number of lifeguards, and that their lifesaving efforts were inadequate. The city countered that the 34-year-old woman was responsible for her own drowning, claiming that she was swimming in a negligent manner that caused her to hit her head and lose consciousness. According to the Daily Astorian, the woman was submerged for 10 minutes before she was discovered by a lifeguard.
