We acted for a man who sustained an injury while working out in his local gym. He was using the bicep curl machine when the clip connecting the handle to the weight cable became detached. This resulted in the bar shooting up and striking him in the middle of his forehead.
He was informed that the piece of damaged machinery had been removed. However, whilst at the gym some time later, he noticed it was broken again.
After sending a detailed letter of claim, the gym admitted it was their fault. We obtained detailed medical evidence, and the gym offered £2,500 in full and final settlement of his claim. The offer was not accepted and instead, after some negotiation, we secured a higher settlement of £3,000 in compensation for our client’s injuries.
If you have suffered from similar injuries from an accident at the gym, you may be entitled to a No Win No Fee compensation claim. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.
