The Challenge

 A family came to us after the drowning death of their middle-school-aged son at a hotel pool. They were devastated and searching for accountability. The immediate obstacle was daunting: the primary responsible party had qualified immunity, which meant they could not be sued directly. That forced us to find another path to justice. Our attorneys went to the scene in person, and what we saw was shocking—an absence of basic safety measures that should have been in place to prevent such a tragedy.
