Child Killed in a Drowning Accident – $1 Million Settlement

A teenage boy died in a tragic drowning accident in a tidal river because the school failed to provide lifeguards or any form of lifesaving equipment.

What Happened

We represented the 16-year-old boy’s mother in this wrongful death case. Her son was an inner city kid on scholarship at a Prep School. He drowned because the school allowed students to swim unsupervised in a tidal river that was very hazardous. The school failed to provide lifeguards or any form of lifesaving equipment.

Wrongful Death Case

As a result of the lack of proper protection and supervision, our client lost his life in this drowning accident. He was an outstanding student athlete and would have been the first member of his family to attend college.

His mother sued the school and was awarded a $1,000,000 settlement for the loss of her child.
