Orange Park

Lawyers representing the family of a teen who drowned in a pool at an Orange Park Airbnb want to warn others about the dangers of pools at short-term vacation rentals.

This comes after they recently settled a $1.3 million wrongful death suit against the company.Todd Michaels, an attorney whose law firm represented 16-year-old Cameron Brown’s family, described how they are doing.

The family declined to be interviewed Friday but spoke with us last year a few weeks after their son died after drowning in a pool at their Airbnb rental. Cameron’s parents said there were no indicators around the pool saying where it sloped or how deep the pool was.“People who are renting their homes through Airbnb and Airbnb themselves need to start treating the safety of their guests with the same urgency as they treat making money off of their guests,” Michaels said., there are some steps Airbnb owners can take to protect their guests and prevent tragedies like this one.

Michaels said Cameron’s parents want people who book vacation rentals to be aware of potential risks and look out for homes that do not have protections in place. Because if not, more drownings can happen.
