While some gym injuries are minor, others can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. Especially if an individual suffers a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury or other debilitating condition as a result of negligence, that person's life may be forever changed due to the carelessness of another. In these situations, holding the negligent party accountable and securing compensation for medical bills can help ensure that victims are able to receive the continuing care that they will require in order to manage their injuries.
Though personal trainer and gym negligence are relatively new areas of law, there are certainly protections already in place within New York's legal code for victims of these kinds of inadequate care. In some situations, it is the personal trainer alone who may be held accountable for his or her actions. In other situations, it is the gym which must be held accountable. In still other situations, both the professional and establishment involved in the situation may be held accountable for harm suffered.
If you or a loved one has been harmed due to personal trainer or gym negligence, please contact a personal injury attorney with experience in these matters. A skilled attorney may be able to help you navigate your legal options.
