Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
Recently i was working out at the gym at my apartments when a piece of their equipment malfunctioned, due to lack of maintenance, and broke my two front teeth. These teeth cost me $4000 in dental work and lost time at work. The apartments acknowledges it was their fault (there was a camera in the gym and lots of pictures taken) but is trying to avoid reimbursing me for my dental work and lost time. They claim they are not liable because i signed a waiver saying that i work out at my own risk. My gym manager at my local community gym says this is false. That this only applies to you hurting yourself at your own doing. But if I am hurt because they failed to maintain their equipment, then they are at fault. Can i sue for my dental damages and lost work time?

yes..contact us or any personal injury attorney....the apartment insurer should pay if u have evidence of equipment malfunction..
Yes, you are entitled to receive compensation for your past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish and disfigurement. You must prove that the gym knew or should have known of the dangerous condition that needlessly injured you. I would be glad to speak with you.
