Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

Do you have a question? Are you asking if it is the trainer's fault that you injured your knee? "My knee was injured" is not telling us what actually happened. Is there a reason the trainer should have known that you were unable to do a fairly simple exercise that most school kids do? If so, you need to provide the facts. There is a risk with working out, with or without a trainer, and that risk is accepted when working out or participating in sports. A trainer (or gym or whoever) is not generally going to be liable because merely because you were injured with a simple exercise.

You didn't ask any question for us to answer, and have given us no specifics to guess as to liability. If you feel the trainer was negligent, see a lawyer.

Although your post did not provide a clear question, it is obvious that you are posting the scenario to get a preliminary idea if you have a case. As always, you have to look to the specific details to determine whether or not you have a worthwhile claim, i.e. is there any theory of negligence on part of the trainer or the gym. For example, was the gym on notice that the surface/floor was unsafe due to prior injuries in the area; was there water on the floor; were you exercising on an uneven surface/mat; etc. Barring some anomaly, you don't have a case because your own carelessness, lack of athletic ability, and/or unusual susceptibility to injury, without more, will not be enough for your to have a viable claim.
