About Home Gym Equipment

While many people go to gyms to work out, many others prefer to work out at home. Some people have fully equipped home gyms that may include some of the following equipment:

• Cardio machines(including rowers, bikes, and treadmills)

• Dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands

• Power racks and cable machines

• And more

Unfortunately, gym equipment can pose a risk to users, especially when the equipment is incorrectly installed.

Incorrect Installation of Home Gym Equipment Can Lead to Incidents

When home gym equipment is improperly installed, dangerous incidents may occur. Gym equipment may malfunction or break during use. Incidents could include the following:

• Falls

• Falling object incidents

• Entrapment

• And more

These incidents could lead to a host of injuries, some of which could have devastating results. Some examples of the injuries that may occur could include head injuries (including concussions, skull fractures, and traumatic brain injuries), neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, back injuries, shoulder injuries, hip injuries, knee injuries, dislocations, fractures, ligament injuries, nerve injuries, crushing injuries, severed limbs, scrapes, bruises, and more. Although these injuries may seem to be only minor, the truth is that they can lead to temporary or permanent disability or, in some cases, can be fatal.

No matter the specific harm that occurred, it is important that you understand that you could have the right to pursue a claim. Below, we will review possible responsibility for these incidents and the types of claims that may apply.

• The manufacturer of the gym equipment (specifically if instructions were unclear/defective)

• The retailer that arranged/advertised professional installation services
