¿Quién es responsable de los daños causados por socorristas mal formados?

In beaches, poolsy water parks, lifeguards keep us safe. They are always watching us and are ready to spring into action if we are ever in any sort of danger. In some cases, lifeguards do not have enough training to be able to effectively perform their lifeguard duties. Specifically, lifeguards have not been appropriately trained by their employers. This could lead to innocent swimmers suffering harm. If you or a member of your family suffered any sort of harm in direct relation to improper lifeguard training, you might have grounds to pursue a claim. It is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of pursuing a claim against the party or entity that contributed to the harm that you suffered, do not hesitate to contact the experts at Downtown L.A. Law Group as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to provide you with the legal representation that you need to sue the parties liable for the harm that you suffered.

How Can Improper Lifeguard Training Affect Swimmers?

Lifeguards are supposed to keep swimmers safe – rescuing swimmers when necessary and administering aid (CPR), for example. It is necessary for lifeguards to know exactly what they are doing at all times. Unfortunately, however, it is possible for lifeguards to lack the necessary training and skills to effectively perform their duties. When lifeguards are untrained and generally unskilled, swimmers are at risk of suffering harm. Depending on the situation, swimmers could suffer near-drowning injuries (although near-drowning in not fatal, complications from near-drowning could eventually lead to death). Without a doubt, poor lifeguard training could lead to preventable drowning incidents – in which innocent people lose their lives directly due to the lifeguards’ improper training.

Who Employs Lifeguards?

Most people do not really understand lifeguards. We know that they are supposed to keep swimmers safe. However, we really don’t know anything more. It is important to know that lifeguards can be employed through the police department, the fire department, and private companies. There are also freelance lifeguards who work independently. In some cities, the police department is responsible for beach patrol – so, there will be a special unit assigned for beach patrol duties. Within this beach patrol, some parties could be assigned to life guard duties. In other cities, the fire department is responsible for beach-related safety. This means that lifeguards work through the fire department. These agencies usually only provide lifeguards for beaches and other public swimming areas (such as community pools, for example). Private beaches, private pools (like in-ground backyard pools), and even water parks do not generally have lifeguards through the police or fire departments. Instead, their lifeguards are hired through private companies (water park lifeguards are usually water park employees). These rental lifeguards are available for pool parties, for example, at hourly rates.

As explained above, lifeguards work through different entities. These entities, whether it’s a police department, fire department, or private lifeguard company, for instance, have the duty to ensure that they are hiring people fit for the job. To ensure that their lifeguards are fit to perform their jobs effectively, these entities have to provide their lifeguards with appropriate training. If they fail to properly train their lifeguards and allow their lifeguards to be on-duty regardless, they are being negligent and could be liable for the harm any swimmers suffer – given that they harm is directly related to poor training.
