Legal Question in Personal Injury in Connecticut

I am a recently self employed personal trainer. I do not have insurance covering injuries to my clients, as I have always worked for a gym. I have never had a problem in my 20 year long career but now a client wants to sue me. She claims to have hurt her back doing a push up, yet did not express any discomfort at the time and I was informed 3 days later that she was injured. The client is aware of the insurance circumstances and I have been told me to "take out a loan" as they wish to be compensated for medical bills as well as tuition for school that she was unable to attend due to her injury. To my knowledge, the party is not currently represented by an attorney. They have asked to meet with me to discuss the situation. What should I do?

You should not admit liability, to the extent there is any, at this point. While the party can certainly make whatever claim they want, you should not respond by admitting or agreeing to settle any claim without consulting an attorney. An attorney could at least assess your potential liability and exposure while also evaluating the potential claim. Also, as a word of advice, you should not post any additional information on the internet as it is easily gathered by a future opposing attorney. Good luck. If you need further help then you can simply email me. [email protected]. Nicholas Adamucci, Esq.
