Asked on May 06th, 2014 on Slip and Fall - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I was working out in the gym in my building, the cord that holds the weights in place snapped causing me to fall and get a severe injury. I wasn't wearing a safety belt because no where on the machine did it say that I needed to wear on end also I didn't see a safety belt. My question is do I have a case? I have a video showing exactly what happened

You may have a viable case. In my experience, belts on workout machines are there to secure you so that the weight does not pull you out of the seat, not for safety reasons. If there are no directions on the machine that indicate that the belt needs to be put on, then you probably have a viable case.  Personal injury attorneys take  cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are free.  Click here and here for more information about me.
