If a child is injured, your first priority should always be getting appropriate medical care. After that, preserving evidence can be extremely important.

Consider documenting:

• Photos and videos of the scene
• The condition of the pool, equipment, or property
• Names and contact information of witnesses
• Information about who was supervising the child
• Incident reports or communications about what happened
• Medical records and treatment recommendations

It's also helpful to write down everything you remember while it's still fresh. Small details that seem unimportant today may become critical later. Cases involving children often require a careful investigation into supervision, property conditions, and safety precautions.
