Gym Cable Machine Injury Attorney

When you join any health club, fitness center, or gym, you will be asked to sign a waiver or release to protect the facility from lawsuits in the event of a member injury. However, that waiver is basically stating that if you get hurt because of a mistake you make or use the workout equipment incorrectly, you will not use the gym. Even with the waiver signed by all users, the facility owner has a legal obligation to maintain the safety and function of the space and the gym cable machines and equipment in use in the facility.

The staff should conduct routine inspections of the facility and the cable machines to ensure they are in good working order and safe for guest use. This is not only a good business practice but their legal obligation. If the staff fails to inspect the cable machines and locate damage to the cables that could make them dangerous to use, they can be found negligent in their duty of care. They are also considered negligent in their duty of care if a member reports a damaged cable but the staff fail to repair or replace it or mark the piece of equipment out of service until it can be repaired.

If you feel that your injuries were caused by staff negligence with regard to a damaged or worn cable on a piece of gym equipment, you could have grounds for a lawsuit. When a gym owner or their staff are negligent in their duty of care and that negligence causes or contributes to a guest injury, the gym owner can be held liable for the injury victims’ losses and expenses. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to discuss the facts of your injury incident and learn more about the possibility of a personal injury lawsuit.

Sadly, the range of injuries caused by a gym cable machine failure is significant. The various types of machines and the location of the user can have a huge impact on the injuries they suffer or the harm sustained by another person near the machine when the cable fails. The common injuries that occur due to a gym cable machine failure include:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Compound fractures
• Joint dislocations or the destruction of the soft connective tissue or the joints
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that can include damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Soft tissue damage and the destruction of nerve tissue
• Injuries to the back, neck, or spinal cord
• Partial or complete amputations
• Harm to the delicate skin of the face or the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Injuries to the head that range from a skull fracture or severe concussion to more serious brain bleeds or other traumatic brain injuries

As the victim of personal injuries, it is critical you understand that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded by the court for certain injuries or incidents. Instead, each case is carefully reviewed, and the compensation amount is determined based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the injury victim. Working with your DTLA Law Grop gym cable machine injury attorney, you will gather all the documents to confirm the allowable expenses you incurred because of the injury incident at the gym. These items will be tabulated to establish the compensation sought by your lawsuit. Items most commonly used in the process include:

• The cost of all legal services related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of the gym injury lawsuit
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident at the gym
• All current and projected medical expenses related to the gym cable machine accident
• Your lost income of the harm you suffered because of the cable machine failure prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully recovered and cleared by your medical care providers to return to your job

As the victim of personal injuries, the legal system provides you with two years to pursue legal action. The time limit begins on the date of the injury incident and is strictly enforced. Once the time limit expires, you will lose the right to ever pursue legal action for the losses and expenses caused by that incident via a personal injury lawsuit. It is also critical to understand that once the time limit has passed, it is very difficult to secure added time to file a claim against the gym where you were hurt due to a failed cable machine. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to discuss the facts of your case and the time remaining for you to take legal action before it is too late.
