We have secured £2,000 compensation for a man who was injured by equipment at his local gym.
Background
We acted on behalf of a man who was working out at his local gym.
The accident
On the day of the accident, our client was using gym equipment which was not secured down properly. The equipment fell over onto him.
The injuries
Our client sustained a head injury resulting in loss of consciousness which resolved after several seconds. He experienced headaches for approximately two weeks after the accident. Our client also sustained lower back pain which took approximately one month to resolve. As a result of his injuries, he was unable to work for four days.
How we helped claim compensation
We presented the claim to the gym, and they admitted that the accident was their fault. We obtained a medical report detailing our client’s injuries. The gym tried to buy him off for £1,317 but he followed our advice and rejected it as we considered it to be an undervaluation of his claim. We entered into negotiations and received a final settlement figure of £2,000 which he was very happy with.
