Swimply Pool Rentals
Swimply is a relativley new pool rental service that is taking the summer months by storm. With the company, homeowners are able to list their pools for rent on the Swimply app/website and people can rent it by the hour.
How Swimply Started
A 20-year-old named Bunim Laskin came up with the idea in 2018 and pitched it to Shark Tank in 2019, to no avail. But he has found much success after he launched the app. The pandemic of 2020 contributed to rapid growth, as people scrambled to stay cool in the summer.
Renting A Private Pool
The demand for swimming pools has skyrocketed since the novel coronavirus pandemic. Friends and families can rent a pool through Swimply. The service offers convenience, but does it offer safety?
Swimming Pool Injuries
Swimply sounds like an easy service to match pool owners to pool renters. However, pools can become a legal nightmare for homeowners and guests. Injuries can occur in or around a pool, this can include:
- broken bones
- lacerations
- traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- wrongful death
Homeowner Liability
Homeowners have pools just sitting there in their back yard. Why shouldn’t they make some money off of it? As enticing as it sounds, renting someone’s pool using Swimply might come with some risks. Injuries can occur. Many homeowners won’t have the insurance coverage they need for this kind of rental use.
Swimply Insurance Coverage
A potential premises liability lawsuit may come into play if an injury occurs on a property. Swimply does offer third-party insurance, which provides some peace of mind. However, the company also has a waiver that must be signed by both renters and the pool host. As an injured pool renter, you may need to file an injury claim.
File A Swimply Pool Injury Claim
It’s true that insurance does provide some peace of mind after an injury. Filing a pool injury insurance claim should be easy. But insurance companies don’t want to pay you the money you deserve after an injury. An experienced pool injury attorney could help you get the best possible outcome for your claim.
When To Call A Pool Injury Attorney
As a pool renter, contact an injury attorney to discuss what your options are if you’re injured. We recommend talking to an attorney before giving a recorded statement to the insurance company. You may have a valid claim against the company and the homeowner if injured while renting a pool. But, it is important to protect your rights and interests.
