Fencing Is a Critical Safety Feature

Backyard swimming pools are what is referred to as an attractive nuisance. Children see pools and they want to swim. For that reason, property owners should take measures to prevent neighborhood children from accessing the pool. The easiest way to do this is to install fencing around the backyard or around the pool itself.

Briggs WinstonIf a property owner fails to take the necessary measures to keep children away from the attractive nuisance, the result could be a drowning accident, a slip-and-fall accident or a diving accident that results in spinal cord injuries or other catastrophic injuries.

“My husband died in a terrible trucking accident, leaving me a widow and my son without a father. The trucking company (that killed my husband) initially refused to accept responsibility for my husband’s death. I hired Winston Briggs and turned everything over to him. During this very difficult time, Winston took total control of the case and filed suit in federal court in Virginia.

“While cycling with a group in Roswell, I was hit by a car, resulting in emergency hospitalization for multiple injuries, two surgeries, and months of rehabilitation. The driver, who was charged with improper passing, was uncommunicative, as was his insurance company.

I injured myself requiring surgery when I fell at a hotel in New Orleans while on business. The insurance company for the hotel initially denied responsibility for my injury and then later offered me only a modest sum to settle the case, claiming there were multiple problems with my claim. I retained Winston Briggs to handle my claim and he did the rest.

I have been fortunate to find (surfing the web) W. Winston Briggs Law Firm to take over my case after almost a year of being with a “highly recommended season” attorney who was unable to serve the defendant, claiming he was “too big to be served,” here in Atlanta?
