There are many hazards that can cause a drowning accident.  While swimming can be inherently dangerous, oftentimes drownings are caused by the negligence of others.  In those cases where the drowning was caused by someone's negligence, certain members of the victim's family may have standing to bring a wrongful death claim.  While it is impossible to heal the wounds of a death, a  civil lawsuit is oftentimes the only remedy to ensure that a negligent party is held accountable.
