Severe laceration from glass that broke during an exercise at an athletic training facility.
A young man, while working out at an athletic training facility, sustained a severe laceration from glass that broke during an exercise. A window shattered when an instructor ran into it. The client required multiple surgeries. The insurer for the facility denied coverage. We immediately filed a lawsuit. Shortly thereafter, the insurance company filed a Federal lawsuit arguing that their policy of insurance did not cover this incident. We successfully fought their arguments and the Federal Judge ruled in our favor. We continued with our lawsuit in Circuit Court and following very extensive discovery and depositions, the case was settled for a confidential amount on the eve of trial.
