If you’ve been injured while working out at a gym, you may have a case that can lead to compensation for your injuries. Call the law firm of Feiner & Lavy today!
Gyms are great for staying fit and healthy, and for looking your best. But sometimes the focus of a gym owner or manager isn’t on the equipment or the facility, and that’s when you could be in danger.
This isn’t a question of being hurt because you lifted too much weight. That would probably be on you. But if the issue involves a slip and fall accident, defective or improperly maintained equipment or a hazard in the facility, and you were injured through no fault of your own, it is in your best interests to talk to a lawyer. And the Bronx personal injury law firm of Feiner & Lavy is on call to help.
A gym or fitness club, including private classes or instruction, are facilities where it is the responsibility of the ownership or management to ensure that the environment where you are working out is safe. Even if you are a member and signed a liability waiver, you have legal rights to damages if you were hurt. And regardless of how broadly that liability waiver is written, a good lawyer may be able to convince a judge to throw it out.
What are some scenarios that could result in a liability claim? If you suffered a slip and fall accident and break an arm because an air conditioner has leaked, leaving a puddle on the floor of the gym, there are no carpets down to aid customers with their footing, and this condition has gone unattended, you may have a claim. If a piece of equipment breaks, falls on you, and you suffer an injury, you may have a claim. If a tile becomes loose and you fall on a hard tile floor in the locker room, you may have a claim.
Claims of this nature are not specific to the gym but fall under a broader category called premises liability. And if you’ve been injured in an accident like this, you may have suffered a broken bone, a ligament tear, or other serious medical condition. This could cost you thousands in out-of-pocket expenses to treat your injury, you could lose wages because you are unable to work, and there are other financial consequences that you could suffer as a result of an injury.
If you are injured, consulting an attorney is your best option once you have been medically checked out. And the place to call is Feiner & Lavy.
