Injured at an Amusement Park or Gym in Texas?

We Help You Take Legal Action When Fun Turns Dangerous

Places designed for fun and fitness—like trampoline parks, amusement venues, and gyms—must still meet strict safety standards. When these businesses fail to maintain equipment, supervise activity, or follow basic safety protocols, the consequences can be serious.

At Williford Law, PLLC, we represent individuals in [City] and across Texas who have been injured at amusement parks, trampoline parks, indoor play zones, fitness centers, and gyms due to business negligence.

Can You Sue a Gym or Amusement Venue for Injury?

Yes—if your injury was caused by unsafe conditionsnegligent supervision, or defective equipment, the business may be liable under Texas premises liability law.

Even if you signed a waiver or liability release, Texas courts may still allow your claim to proceed if:

  • The waiver is overly broad or vague
  • The injury was caused by gross negligence or recklessness
  • The victim was a minor (waivers signed by parents often don’t bar children’s claims)
  • The venue violated health or safety regulations

Common Locations Where These Accidents Occur

Venue TypeExample Hazards
Trampoline parksUnsupervised flips, poorly maintained trampolines, broken springs
Indoor amusement parksFaulty harnesses, slippery floors, overcrowding
Fitness gymsRope failure, poor belay supervision, and wall defects
Rock climbing gymsInadequate padding, falls from height, and lack of supervision
Martial arts/dance studiosUnsafe floors, inadequate instruction, improper sparring
Children’s play zonesInadequate padding, falls from height, lack of supervision

We investigate whether the venue followed industry standards and safety procedures, and whether their waiver can protect them from liability.

Types of Injuries in Gyms and Amusement Venues

We represent clients suffering from:

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Broken bones and dislocations
  • Ligament and tendon tears
  • Crush injuries from equipment failure
  • Burns from friction or exposed heating elements
  • Concussions from falls or collisions
  • Emotional trauma, especially in children

Whether your injury happened during a group class or on a trampoline court, we’ll determine whether negligence, poor supervision, or equipment failure played a role.

What to Do After an Injury at a Gym or Recreation Center

  1. Report the injury to staff or management immediately.
  2. Request a copy of the incident report.
  3. Take photos of the equipment, layout, and hazard area.
  4. Get names and contact info for staff and witnesses.
  5. Seek medical attention right away.
  6. Preserve any signed contracts or waivers.
  7. Do not speak to insurers or sign documents without legal review.

Waivers and insurance adjusters are designed to protect the venue, not you. We help level the playing field.

Damages Available in Texas Injury Claims

If the business’s negligence caused your injury, you may be entitled to:

  • Medical bills (immediate and long-term)
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost income or future earning potential
