Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

Almost 4.5 million adults in the UK have gym memberships and whilst the gym is a great place to get fit, it can also be a potentially dangerous place. It is the responsibility of those who manage gyms and leisure centres to minimise the potential for gym injuries, following stringent health and safety standards. When that protection is missing or flawed, an accident can occur, sometimes leading to serious injury.

Those who manage gyms and leisure centres have a duty to protect our health and safety. When that protection is missing or flawed, the results of an accident in a gym can be devastating, including serious injury and death.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your gym injury compensation claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a gym or leisure centre injury, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference. 

Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.

Above all, we put you first.

Handling Gym And Leisure Centre Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

If you have been injured as a result of an accident that occurred within a gym or health centre, you may be able to make a claim.

You could be entitled to make a gym injury compensation claim if you have been injured as a result of broken equipment such as faulty or defective rowing machines or weight machines. Claims may also be made if you were injured as a result of inappropriate instruction, lack of training, a slip or trip or any other form of accident that was not your fault.

Our specialist lawyers have been involved in many gym injury compensation claims as a result of accidents occurring within gyms and leisure centres.

Compensation Received Following Injury At Local Gym

Our client was injured whilst visiting her local gym.  She was attending the gym for a Pilate’s class and after her class had finished she was walking along a corridor when a tile fell from the ceiling hitting her on the back of the head.
 
The client was taken to hospital where she was checked and released home.  The client suffered from pain in her neck and shoulders for 2 months and headaches for several days.  As a result she was nervous of anything falling upon her again.
  
Irwin Mitchell were able to successfully obtain for our client £1500 in compensation in an out of court settlement after the gym admitted liability for her accident.
