Re: injured on pool slide

You may have a case but it is far from clear. You need to know why it broke apart. Also, are the parts still available? If not, you could be precluded from bringing a claim. There are issues regarding what is called the statue of repose (getting rid of cases involving old stuff). If it broke apart due to weather, etc., they will also allege a duty of inspection, etc. Improper installation could also be a defense. My point is, these cases are very difficult and no one brings them unless the damages are great because the obstacles are great. William S. Stern
