LA Fitness admits liability

Steve Shane, an anaesthesiologist from the U.S.A., on vacation in England, was staying at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel in London. He fell over and suffered a serious shoulder injury whilst using the hotel swimming pool, which was run by LA Fitness. He subsquently had treatment for the injury in Switzerland and America. LA Fitness initially denied liability but after securing evidence, admitted liability. We are now in the process of quantifying the claim.

Mark Bowman, Steve's Solicitor says "Now that liability is admitted, I hope to shortly secure a good settlement for Steve. The Defendants have made changes to the swimming area as a result of Steve's fall and I hope similar incidents are avoided in the future."
