Gym & Sports Injury Claims In Queensland

Your Rights After A Gym Or Sports Injury

Exercise & sport should support your wellbeing, not leave you sidelined by injury.

When an accident disrupts your training, work & daily routine, we’ll assess whether the gym, club or venue may be responsible & explain your options.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Part Of The Game, Or Preventable?

Some knocks are part of the game, but others stem from unsafe equipment, poor supervision or poorly kept grounds.

We’ll help you see which side of that line your injury falls on, so you can decide with confidence.

Gym, Trainer Or Club?

Responsibility may lie with a gym operator, personal trainer, sporting club or the body managing the grounds.

We’ll make the necessary enquiries to identify who may be responsible & explain your next steps.

Signed A Membership Waiver?

Membership forms may include waivers, and insurers may argue that the risks were obvious. However, these defences have limits, particularly where basic safety measures were overlooked.

We’ll assess how these factors affect your claim & explain your prospects.

Early Advice Keeps Your Options Open

Strict time limits apply to gym & sports injury claims, while damaged equipment may be repaired and grounds resurfaced before evidence can be secured.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will contact you within 24 hours to explain your deadlines & next steps.
