For children, water is a source of laughter, adventure, and unforgettable summer days. But beneath the surface of that joy lurks a devastating risk: drowning. Every year, families face unthinkable heartbreak because of accidents that could — and should — have been prevented.
At Herrman and Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers, we stand with families when tragedy strikes. If your child has been injured or drowned due to someone else’s negligence, you don’t have to face the pain and uncertainty alone. We are here to fight for your family, hold the responsible parties accountable, and help you get the justice — and compensation — you deserve.
The Hidden Dangers of Water for Children
Water parks, pools, and beaches are meant to be safe places for children to play and grow. But too often, negligence turns these places into danger zones.
Whether it’s an inattentive lifeguard, a faulty drain cover, or an unsafe environment created by reckless swimmers, the results can be catastrophic.
The Leading Causes of Drowning Accidents:
-
Negligent Supervision: Lifeguards or facility staff failing in their duties.
-
Unsafe Conditions: Poor maintenance, missing safety signage, or defective drain systems.
-
Reckless Behavior: Horseplay or dangerous conduct by other swimmers.
Who’s Responsible? Understanding Your Legal Rights
When a drowning accident happens, families are left not only grieving but also searching for answers.
Herrman and Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers can help you navigate this overwhelming process.
We Hold Negligent Parties Accountable:
-
Facility Owners & Operators: Responsible for safe conditions and compliance with state and federal laws.
-
Lifeguards & Staff: Trained professionals who can be held liable if they fail to act properly in emergencies.
-
Reckless Individuals: Swimmers whose dangerous behavior led to the accident.
We’ll investigate every angle to uncover where the system failed — and who should be held accountable.
What Compensation Can Your Family Seek?
No parent should have to think about the financial toll while grieving their child. While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, securing compensation can ease the financial and emotional burden your family faces.
Your family may be entitled to:
-
Medical expenses, including emergency care and hospital bills.
-
Funeral and burial costs.
-
Compensation for emotional distress, pain, and suffering.
-
Loss of companionship and joy.
We don’t just pursue compensation.
We fight for justice.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
