How Your Gym Accident Case Works
Gyms have a duty to keep their equipment safe and their floors clean. If you were hurt because of broken equipment, poor maintenance, or staff negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
1. Free Case Review with an Attorney
We hear your story and look for any angle in which the gym was at fault for your injuries. Generally if you were put on a progressive program that is more aggressive than industry standard and you get hurt, you may have a case.
3. We take on the gym and their insurance company
Gyms have legal teams that are ready and trying to deny your legal claim for compensation. We know how to push back to prove they did not meet their safety obligations to you.
2. We gather the Evidence
We ask for the security footage, we look at the waiver you signed, we evaluate the progression program, and the industry standards to build your case.
4. You get compensated
Whether it's torn muscles or broken bones, you deserve to be made whole from the wrong committed against you. We fight for your medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, mileage, and out of pocket expenses. We will not settle for less.
LEGAL REFERENCE
Know Your Deadline: Colorado's general negligence filing deadline is 2 years from the date of your injury (C.R.S. § 13-80-102).
What About the Waiver I Signed? Colorado courts scrutinize liability waivers closely, and a waiver generally cannot protect a gym from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. We review every waiver against the specific facts of what happened.
Comparative Negligence: Colorado's modified comparative negligence rule (C.R.S. § 13-21-111) applies here as well.
COLORADO GYM INJURY FAQs
Can a gym in Colorado really be held responsible if I signed a waiver?
Yes, in the right circumstances. Colorado law does not allow a waiver to excuse a gym's gross negligence or reckless conduct. If broken equipment sat unrepaired for weeks, or staff ignored an obvious hazard, a waiver you signed at check-in doesn't automatically protect the gym.
What if my injury happened during a group class instead of on equipment?
Group classes still fall under the gym's duty to run a reasonably safe environment. If overcrowding, poor supervision, or an unqualified instructor contributed to your injury, that's relevant evidence for your claim.
Do I need proof the gym knew about the hazard before I got hurt?
It strengthens your case, but it's not always required. Sometimes the hazard itself - like consistently unmaintained equipment - is evidence the gym should have known. We dig into maintenance logs and prior complaint records during our investigation.
