Arizona Swimming Pool Safety Requirements

Arizona has strict requirements regarding swimming pools to ensure safety. The following are just a few of the requirements:

• The pool must have an enclosure with a five-foot wall or fence.
• Pools must have a self-latch that is at least 54 inches from the ground.
• The pool’s gate must open outwards.
• There must be no openings or holes in the fence or barrier.
• The wall must be a minimum of 20 inches from the pool.

Additionally, there are very specific of requirements for unique pool ownership situations including a residence that constitutes part of the pool enclosure or for above ground pool set-ups.

Despite these safety requirements, drowning deaths in children have increased over the last few years. At Zanes Law we understand the importance of collecting compensation to help with your pool accident injuries while also serving justice to rectify this problem.

Understanding Premise Liability

Arizona’s premise liability laws dictate that it is the pool owner’s responsibility to maintain and secure the pool properly. The state expects pool owners to meet all requirements. When they fail to do this, they may be liable for any damages that occur. Liability may fall onto the homeowner, property owner, or the landlord.

In addition to ensuring a safe swimming pool experience, the state also expects property owners to notify visitors of any potential dangers. Failing to do so will also deem the liable.

The swimming pool lawyers at Zanes Law will help you collect the evidence you need to demonstrate the following:

• The property owner held a legal duty of care
• The property owner breached that care through negligence
• The negligence was the cause of the accident
• Actual damages occurred from the accident
