SCUBA Injuries and Deaths
Divers' Claims in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Midwest
There are hazards inherent in SCUBA diving, but when accidents happen as the result of negligence, victims deserve to be compensated for their injuries and losses. If you have suffered an injury while diving, or if your family member has been harmed (or was killed) in a diving accident, you need to talk with a lawyer who has handled claims like yours in the past and is familiar with the intricacies of SCUBA diving accidents.
At the law firm of Eckberg, Lammers, Briggs, Wolff & Vierling, PLLP, in Stillwater, Minnesota, we represent recreational and professional drivers who have suffered accidents while diving, during instruction and during decompression, as well as the families of those who have died in diving accidents. When novice divers are given minimal training or education, improperly maintained diving equipment malfunctions or there is negligent supervision on guided tours, our attorneys can provide experienced representation.
Common SCUBA Injuries to Recreational and Professional Divers
SCUBA diving and dive lessons can result in serious injuries, including:
- Lung damage
- Type I and Type II decompression sickness
- "The Bends" or nitrogen narcosis
- Asphyxia and anoxia
- Neurological injuries
- Drowning and wrongful death
After an accident, it may be possible to file a personal injury claim against the diving instructor and/or dive school, the manufacturer of the faulty diving equipment, the dive sponsor or another party. Our firm will thoroughly review your SCUBA diving injuries and help you understand your best options for getting the compensation you deserve.
