Hi can anyone offer me advice on whether to make a claim against my gym? I fell there last week and am being treated for a broken bone in the base of my thumb and have extensive bruising on my back as I fell onto a machine. I was in a class situation and tripped when trying to get around a machine in order to get more space. The instructor took a quick look at my hand and sat me down while she carried on with the class. I was in a great deal of pain, but I got no medical attention. Apart from giving my name and address I played no part in filling in the accident book and was told (by her teenage daughter) the instructor would fill it in with my injuries later (although she could not have known my injuries). Despite the other gym members' showing concern (unfortunately I don't know them), the instructor seemed determined to stay well way away from me - at which point I left. Does anyone know whether there is any legal requirement for them to help me if I fall? And has anyone claimed for this kind of thing?
