Heading to the gym, sports club or swimming pool is a popular way for us all to maintain our health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, accidents can happen, especially when equipment is defective or poorly maintained. If you’ve sustained an injury due to substandard equipment, you might be entitled to compensation under a No Win, No Fee arrangement.

Understanding Defective Equipment Claims

Defective equipment in recreational facilities poses a serious risk to visitors and users. From malfunctioning treadmills to poorly maintained weights, these hazards can lead to injuries ranging from sprains to more severe accidents. Establishing liability in such cases requires demonstrating that the faulty equipment led directly to the injury. This involves proving negligence on the part of the facility’s management or staff.
