I rescued 2 y.o. drowning girl in the local pool. Had my phone in my pocket when I jumped. Phone died. Who's liable? Parents or pool owners?

Answer 1

And you want us to think you are a hero.

Answer 2

what a prize,,and a puny cost get another one cheapskate

Answer 3

literally you are responsible for your own good deed and following consequences. Stop playing the victim they owe you nothing for your good deed. Its called being a decent human being not s sh*tty douchebag.

Answer 4

The two year old because if he didn't jump in, you wouldn't have lost your phone. Stupid questions get stupid answers

Answer 5

You can file lawsuit for phone replacement, however likely they will dismiss the case. Wouldn't it cheaper to buy yourself a new phone than spent 100 hours preparing for court?

Answer 6

Nobody is liable, keep the "dead" phone as a reminder that you saved a little girl from dying. Phones are two a penny, lives are not. Just go and buy another phone if its that important to you.

Answer 7

Unless you were PHYSICALLY FORCED to enter the water with the phone in your pocket, YOU are responsible.
It would be nice if the family helped replace the phone, but they have ABSOLUTELY ZERO legal obligation to do so.

While my reasoning is different, I NEVER buy a phone that isn't water resistant to 30 ft.

Answer 8

Yes, you most likely saved that pool owner his entire business and more. You also save that child's life, but the law does not work in the way you are thinking. Both parties ought to be offering you more than a new phone but they are not responsible for your decision. If you know the pool owner talk with the person and ask him to please replace your phone. If you want you can consult a lawyer about suing the owner. It might be possible.

Answer 9

You for not tossing the phone out BEFORE you jumped in.
It was your choice how to act in this given situation.

Answer 10

you rescued a drowning girl, just get another phone, you saved a life, who cares about a phone
