Shallow dive accident

[ssatl]

the last dive of the day would be from the deck
if I'm wording it correctly

Where was this man-made waterfront? Was it open, or did you have to climb up and over railings, etc?

No, you're not wording it correctly. "One last dive" implies that you have previously dove from the bar.

this was last dive of the day...only attempted 1 at the bar
I dove earlier but it was off a boat earlier that day.

How long ago did this happen?

I thought this would fall under as a catostrophic accident therefore I would have a good case

The severity of the injuries doesn't change the liability.

How old were you at the time and was a a BAC taken at the ER?

Deck extended from shore bar sat on deck.

As I believe you were told, your best bet is to consult with a local attorney. You're not going to get the answers you need from an internet forum. I do wish you the best of luck.

Then that means you had to intentionally navigate around the barrier in order to dive.

Were you aware of the depth of the water when you dove?

It sounds as if you will have a difficult time showing the negligence of others but because of the severity of the injury, you definitely should speak with a personal injury attorney. The consultation should be free.

I knew it would not be that deep
