Yoga studios are available in just about every town and city in the U.S., but CorePower Yoga is by far, the most successful yoga and fitness franchise in the nation. They have over 220 locations, and they show no signs of slowing down. The company is known for offering innovative forms of yoga, like Hot Power Fusion, Yoga Sculpt, and bootcamp style classes.
Everyone knows that workouts are hard on the body, and there’s always a chance that you’ll be injured. This is true even if there are certified instructors to walk you through the movements. But there are certain accidents that no one should have to suffer when they are at a yoga studio. These include slip and falls, trip and falls, and being assaulted.

Accidents at a CorePower Yoga Studio
There are many types of accidents that can cause injury to people at a store, but some incidents are more common than others. Below are three sources of injury that are associated with most accident claims against gyms and yoga studios:
- Slip and fall / trip and fall
– with the number of people that are at a yoga studio at any given time, there are bound to be incidents of slipping and tripping over things. But property owners have a duty to minimize fall-related accidents by removing hazards, keeping the premises clean, and making repairs in a timely manner.
- Assault and battery
– these incidents are usually due to lack of security on the premises, which is another duty that businesses owe to their customers. Employers must also conduct thorough backgrounds checks prior to hiring someone and ensure that they are properly trained and supervised.
- Sexual assault
– as with assault and battery, negligence by a gym or fitness center can also contribute to incidents of sexual abuse. There is a greater risk of sexual assault at yoga studios, where it’s normal for teachers to have physical contact with the students, and even arrange for private lessons. Security measures and strict hiring practice are essential in the prevention of sexually inappropriate conduct at a yoga studio.

Claims for a Workplace Injury
Just like customers, those working at a store are vulnerable to injury from a variety of circumstances. The risk of a workplace accident is even greater for yoga teachers and fitness instructors, due to the physical demands of working out, instructing classes, and helping students during private lessons. They may also be responsible for cleaning and organizing the studio after hours, and this is where a lot of fall accidents can happen.
First and foremost, talk to your employer immediately if you are injured at work. They should have a process in place to notify their insurance company, which will initiate the claims process. There are steps you will need to take as well, like seeing a doctor of your employer’s choosing and filling out paperwork. We are here to assist you every step of the way, so don’t hesitate to call if you have questions about your rights as an injured CorePower Yoga employee. A California workers’ compensation lawyer will advise you of your legal options and ensure that you receive all the benefits you are entitled to.
Suing for an Accident at Core Power Yoga
A CorePower Yoga location is prone to accidents for a number of reasons that exist at any store. Hazards that can lead to an injury include slippery floors, poor lighting, broken locks on doors, lack of security cameras, and reckless conduct by employees. To some degree, you have to accept the risk of bodily harm when you are working out. In a hot yoga class, for example, you accept that there is a greater chance of slipping on the floor or on your mat. But slipping on the floor should not be happening in the corridors, entryways, and many other parts of the property.
Accidents can also happen to people that are stopping in to shop at the store. Like most studios, CorePower Yoga offers a line of fitness merchandise. If there is a dangerous condition, like water on the floor, a shopper slip and fall incident is the likely outcome. Stores also have liability for accidents in outdoor areas, such as sidewalks, parking lots, and trash dumpsters. It’s essential that owners take the necessary measures to prevent accidents, like removing snow, repairing sidewalks, and installing cameras in the parking lot.
In essence, there are many ways that a property owner can breach their duty to those that have a right to be on the premises. Thus, if you were harmed at a CorePower Yoga studio due to an unsafe condition, including negligent or criminal conduct by an employee, you have the right to file a lawsuit against the company.
What are These Cases Worth on Average?
Settlement values are based on numerous factors, ranging from the injuries you’ve suffered to the type of legal action you are filing. For a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, $75,000 to $2,500,000 is a possible range of settlements, depending on the severity of your injuries. Case values tend to be higher with assault cases, especially sexual assault. Our clients typically receive anywhere from $500,000 to $3,000,000 and above for a sexual abuse lawsuit. For a detailed explanation on how we determine the value of a lawsuit, please talk to a store accident injury lawyer by contacting our office.
How Much Time Does it Take to Settle a Store Accident Injury Case?
There’s no definitive answer to this question, as we can’t predict the number of issues we’ll need to resolve in order to reach a settlement. This is particularly true with sexual assault and assault and battery cases. Business owners are very resistant when it comes to liability for these cases, considering the sensitive issues that are involved and what it may do to a company’s reputation. Ideally, a resolution that’s satisfactory to you will be achieved in 6 months, but in reality, a personal injury lawsuit can take one to several years.
What is the Deadline to Sue CorePower Yoga?
The statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is two years, which means you have 24 months from the accident date to sue for a slip and fall, trip and fall, or physical assault. Sexual assault cases, on the other hand, have a 10-year statute of limitations if you are 18 years or older at the time of the incident. Regardless of the deadline for a lawsuit, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to obtain evidence and make a solid case for monetary compensation. We’re here day and night, so please contact us to get started on a lawsuit against CorePower Yoga.
