I might actually go to the gym now…
>It was further claimed that there was an alleged failure to give any adequate warning that the floor was a danger.
WARNING: FLOOR
To be honest, much as we like to complain about lawsuits this doesn’t seem unreasonable.
A man nearly died, suffered life altering injuries and is unable to work in his profession ever again. The defendants obviously thought there was a risk they would be found negligent and forced to pay more.
St Michael’s is a great rowing club and I hope this guy can make a full recovery eventually
Well, he suffered a brain bleed and can’t work now. And they had taken up the floor mats because the river was expected to flood. So it’s a reasonable award
>Mr Hogan lost consciousness, suffered a brain bleed and had to spend 12 days in hospital.
Ms Flahive told the court how the mats that would normally have been on the floor had been removed because the Shannon had been expected to flood.
It was claimed against St Michael’s Rowing Club that there was a failure to design the gym, and in particular the weights area, with any reasonable care and there was an alleged failure to maintain the premises with any reasonable care.
The judge said the settlement was fair and reasonable
For those who don’t read the articles – this wasn’t a small bump on the head from a trip. It appears to be a significant head injury.
There’s very little in the article but the settlement of that size wouldn’t be offered by the premises unless they thought they held at least some liability.
This is mad stuff altogether.
The lad started was doing weights, he pushed himself too hard, started feeling light headed, went to get up but he had cramp in his leg so he fell down and banged his head.
He made a full recovery and now he’s basically a millionaire.
This is some fucking country we’re living in.
Odd question…. Is that 900k taxed?
Has he made a full recovery? It says in the article he sued through his mother, which as a an adult is this not unusual?
Guy uses gym illegally, shouldn’t be there and hurts himself. The club are now liable
