Gym Accident Claims

While gyms are a commonly used space for recreation and fitness, a failure to follow health and safety regulations can cause certain aspects of the gym – such as equipment – to become unsafe. Therefore, every gym must protect its staff members and customers, following guidelines as well as providing thorough information about how to use their facilities. If a failure to adhere to this duty of care results in an accident, they could be held accountable and liable to pay any compensation.

We are here to help. Whether you are claiming against a gym chain or a local company – we will do our best to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

If you have a valid basis upon which to make an injury claim, we will provide advice as well as an estimation about the amount of compensation you could be owed.

Causes of gym accident claims

If regulations are not properly followed, gyms can become dangerous environments due to the use of heavy equipment and the physical nature of exercise.

Some of the most frequent ways a gym customer or staff member could sustain an injury include:

• Faulty equipment
• Hazards not being dealt with (e.g. water spills, weights being discarded)
• Car park injuries
• Slip, trips falls caused by negligence
• Exposure to harmful substances
• Inadequate advice from a trainer or instructor about how to exercise or use equipment

Some of the more common injuries that are experienced include:

• Chemical burns – Due to employers not providing correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and training.
• Back Injuries – Due to manual handling accidents and slips, trips and falls.
• Crush Injuries – Due to falling weights and faulty equipment.
• Knee Injuries – Due to a lack of training equipment or faulty equipment.
