Gym Injury Claims

What Is A Gym Injury Claim?

Although we go to the gym to get stronger and to look after our health, we can sometimes suffer an accident whilst at the gym. The most common types of gym accident include:

• Equipment failure, for example an electric shock from a treadmill
• Incorrect training advice from personal trainers employed by the gym
• Slips, trips or falls due to unexpected hazards such as cables left lying across walkways or weights not replaced in the appropriate area.

If you were injured in a gym accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries.

Compensation For Gym Injuries

Although it might seem like a simple question, it is not possible to give an accurate estimate of how much compensation your gym injury might attract without knowing the details of your case. This is because there are so many different factors which will have an impact. In general, however, compensation claims can be divided into two parts.

Compensation claims can be thought of as being divided into two distinct parts. The first part aims to compensate you for the pain and suffering you have experienced as a result of your injuries. Because this is such a subjective thing, the governing body (the Judicial College) has set guidelines for how much compensation should be awarded for different injuries. They provide a range within which compensation payments should fall for each injury, but these ranges are often very wide. This is to allow for the individual nature of your personal injury. Our expert personal injury claims solicitors have years of experience, allowing them to give you the most accurate estimate of where in this range your injury is likely to fall.

The second, and often much larger, part of your compensation claim is to compensate you for any costs, expenses or losses associated with your gym injury. The aim of compensation is to give you as close as possible to the same situation as you would have ad if your gym injury had not occurred. This means that you are able to claim for any loss of earnings if you are unable to work as a result of your gym injury, or even for the loss of the earnings you would have been likely to receive if your injuries mean that you are unable to return to your previous work. You may also be entitled to claim for additional medical support, the help of a carer if this has become necessary and even some modifications to your home or vehicle if they are necessary to allow you to resume the life you had previously.

It can be difficult to be sure that you are claiming everything that you are entitled to. Our expert gym injury claims solicitors have years of experience making sure that you are claiming for everything you deserve, giving you the best possible compensation claim to help you get your life back on track following your gym injury.

What If I Am Worried About How To Afford My Gym Injury Compensation Claim?

What Is The Time Limit For Making A Gym Injury Compensation Claim?

Compensation claims for gym injury should be made as soon as possible after the accident or injury that led to them. Except in extremely exceptional circumstances, all claims should be made within 2 years of the accident. If you are coming close to the two year time limit, it is essential that you contact our personal injury solicitors as soon as possible.

There are some circumstances in which it might be useful to wait a short while before making your gym injury compensation claim.

There is no need to delay in talking with our personal injury specialists, however, as we can use any additional time to make sure that we are putting together the strongest case we can to get you the compensation you deserve.

How Making A Gym Injury Compensation Claim Works

In order to make a gym injury personal injury compensation claim, you will need to follow a standard process.

Getting legal advice before starting your gym injury compensation claim can dramatically increase the likelihood of you receiving the compensation you deserve, and can also help you to make a claim for the full amount that you are entitled to. Our personal injury claims specialists are available 24 hours a day or you can claim online and we will call you back at a time to suit you.

Working on your behalf, we write to the person responsible for your gym injury (this person is often known as the respondent). In this letter, we explain that you are claiming compensation for your injuries and that you believe that they were at fault. We ask them to accept responsibility (the legal term for this is accepting liability) for what happened and give them a deadline by which to inform us if they disagree.

If the other side tells us that they do not accept liability (this is known as them disputing liability), we will put together a file of evidence to support your claim. This will include any evidence you have found, as well as anything we gather. It can include a visual record of the event, if one exists, witness statements and expert testimony as to accepted safety guidelines for your industry. Once presented with this information, almost all employers will accept liability.

As soon as the other party has agreed liability, we can begin negotiations to decide how much compensation is fair. This will always be completely your decision, but we will offer you advice and support to ensure that you can be confident in your decisions. The other party will often offer a very low initial amount, known as a lowball offer, to see whether you will accept less than you are entitled to. With our experience, we are able to give you the information you need to identify these kinds of tactics and get the full amount of compensation you deserve for your accident.

In almost all cases, it is possible to reach an agreement to settle your case. This is especially true for accidents at work, as it is not in the interests of the insurance company to force your personal injury compensation case to court. If it is not possible to agree liability or to find a compensation amount that both sides find air, it may be necessary to ask a judge to decide how much compensation you deserve.

Can I Make a Claim For My Gym Injury?

Following a gym injury, many people are left unsure as to whether they are entitled to make a compensation claim. There are a few simple requirements for making a gym injury compensation claim, but they are very straightforward and most people will find that they do qualify.

The first and most basic requirement for you to make a gym injury compensation claim is that you must have suffered a gym injury. You are not able to make a claim for a near miss, where you narrowly avoided a gym injury. You are also only able to claim if were in some way damaged or harmed as a result of what happened. If you were very lucky and avoided all injury, you are not able to make a compensation claim. Your injuries can be mental as well as physical, but you can only claim for what you actually experienced.

The next consideration when wondering whether you are able to make a gym injury compensation claim is to think about who is responsible for your gym injury. There must be someone else to blame for what happened to you, and this is the person or organisation that you will claim against. In the case of an accident or injury at work, your employer will almost certainly be the person at fault. This is because they have a legal responsibility to keep you safe and your injury demonstrates that they were unsuccessful in this task.

The person or organisation at fault in your gym injury claim must have been able to anticipate, at least to some degree, what happened to you. They do not need to have actually predicted it, but it should have been something that was sufficiently plausible that a reasonable person in the same position could have anticipated it.

Finally, they must not have taken sufficient measures to protect you. This could be in terms of putting in measures to avoid your gym injury, or in terms of making sure that the consequences are as mild as possible.

If you have suffered a gym injury and someone else was to blame, whether through their negligence or carelessness, you are entitled to compensation. If you are considering making a gym injury compensation claim, don’t delay. Call us now or claim online to discover how we can help you to get the compensation you deserve.

Even the smallest details might be useful, and will go a long way to making sure that you come across as a convincing witness, should that be necessary. The sooner you are able to write down this information, the more valuable it is likely to be.

It is also important that you try to get the names and contact details of anyone who witnessed your gym injury. You are welcome to get them to write down what they have seen, if this is simple to arrange, but if we have their names and contact information, we are able to do this for you at a later date if needed.
