Minami Tamaki LLP personal injury attorneys Ember Oparowski and Seema Bhatt obtained a $395,000 settlement on behalf of our client who suffered injuries at an indoor climbing gym. Our client fell from a newly installed climbing wall route onto the unprotected floor at the gym and suffered a fractured heel and elbow.

We took on this case after other law firms rejected it because our client had signed a waiver and was purportedly familiar with the gym, having been a member for over two years. Although the case was difficult, we felt our client deserved a fighting chance.

We successfully argued the gym was “grossly negligent” and increased the risk inherent in indoor climbing by designing the climbing route over an unpadded floor.

This settlement highlights our personal injury practice's expertise in handling cases of complex liability and our commitment to holding businesses accountable for creating dangerous conditions for their customers and guests.
