11yo model/actor, no scars. Paid personal training at Crunch Fitness. Trainer allowed treadmill use without supervision/safety clip. Child fell, deep laceration, ambulance, sedation, stitches. Permanent ugly scar (blue, stretch marks). Lost jobs (Burger King). Crunch falsified age as 14 (policy 14+). Need to challenge waiver & arbitration. Seeking aggressive representation.
Any fitness facility that allows physical activity usually requires a liability waiver, and Florida courts generally enforce them. But when the waiver is signed by a minor or by a parent on behalf of a minor, courts have repeatedly allowed successful challenges. You should hire a personal‑injury attorney to pursue claims against the facility and trainer for all damages your child suffered. Any recovery for a minor is placed into a structured settlement and paid when the child reaches adulthood. This site does not allow attorney solicitation, but you may review our backgrounds and reach out to one of us privately to discuss contingency‑fee representation, meaning you pay nothing unless the case is resolved successfully.
