First of all, seek out medical attention for your injury. Your health requires it and any future lawsuit will benefit from you having those records. Don’t forget to let a gym employee know about your injury.

Do not sign a waiver. If you already did, don’t worry, as there may be legal arguments your lawyer can make to overcome the waiver. We’ll talk more about why waivers can be dangerous below. And of course, do get in touch with a lawyer soon.
