Toddler Injury at Nation Gym Chain

A large and national fitness club chain employed babysitters as an added benefit to their gym in order to entice members with children to join their club and pay monthly membership dues.  The gym employed young and untrained individuals to run the so-called daycare.  They did not prohibit cell phone use although they were responsible for watching several children of all ages, including toddlers, like the toddler of our client whose arm was broken while in their care.  The employees claimed they were not aware of an injury to the toddler when the parents returned from the hospital and demanded to see a video of what happened.  The gym told them they would have to talk to the lawyers.  So they did.  They called us and we were able to discover what happened after requesting the court to order the gym to turn over the video of the daycare at the gym.  Shortly after, the case settled for a confidential sum.
