| I don't mean this to sound horrible, but as i'm typing this I can't think of a better way to put what I'm about to say... sorry I really don't mean to offend, but I know how gym clubs run.
I was a gymnast until I went to uni at 18 and hold a BAGA coaching certificate. In the 15 years of doing gymnastics I picked up more injuries than I can count. I had to have an operation for torn cartiledge I picked up from landing awkwardly from a dismount, but as far as I see it injury is a risk you take for doing quite a dangerous sport. I appreciate your daughter is in pain, and is also suffering set backs as a result, but I don't think seeking compensation will help, and may just cause bad feeling and difficulties for her at the gym club.
As Mrsedz said above, you'd only really have a claim on the club's insurance if the crash mat was damaged or the trampette was faulty and not taken out of action, this would be negligence the club's behalf, otherwise it is deemed purely accidental. I'm sure the coach will be able to advise you on this.
I hope your daughter has a speedy recovery - I know how horrible it is to be sidelined from a sport you love. |
