Man sues after hitting head on water slide

A Texas man has filed a personal injury lawsuit against a fitness center, alleging the fitness center’s negligence caused his pool accident.

 

In August of 2008, Steven Rank was swimming in a pool located at Life Time Fitness Inc. in Allen, Texas. Rank planned to use the pool’s water slide but hit his head on a bar above the slide’s entrance. The structure in question is an unpadded metal crossbar.

 

Rank’s Texas personal injury lawsuit accuses Life Time Fitness of negligence, claiming that the business failed “to maintain the premises in question in a reasonably safe condition and free of hazards to the plaintiff and other invites entering the premises.”

 

In addition to failure to maintain and inspect the premises, the personal injury lawsuit also accuses Life Time of negligence in failing to properly train its employees and in failing to implement proper rules, procedures or polices to ensure that the premises was safe.

 

Damages sought in the personal injury lawsuit include those for physical impairment, medical expenses, pain and suffering and mental anguish.
