What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is a branded fitness regimen involving performing movements at high intensities. The fitness method was developed in 2000 by Greg Glassman and Lauren Jenai. Today, CrossFit has over 12,000 affiliated gyms throughout 150 countries, which just about half of these gyms located in the U.S. CrossFit is a program that consists of a mix of calisthenics, aerobics, and Olympic weightlifting. CrossFit, LLC licenses the name to gyms (these are affiliated gyms) and offers certification for trainers. Throughout the years, the CrossFit name has repeatedly been under fire as critics claim that the company promotes dangerous movements, inappropriate intensity levels, and allows those who are underqualified to be certified trainers.

Possible Injuries Caused by CrossFit
Like with any type of fitness program, injuries can occur if the specific workouts are done incorrectly. Some possible injuries include shoulder injuries, lower back injuries, and knee injuries, for instance, although many other injuries are likely depending on the specific situation. These injuries can require surgical treatment and extensive therapy.
Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
Exertional rhabdomyolysis is a condition that is known to affect athletes in endurance sports and those who perform high intensity and high value exercises. More specifically, it can affect those who overexert themselves while working out, even more so if they are working out in hot weather. There is a breakdown of skeletal muscle; these cellular contents are then released into the bloodstream. Since some of the matter is toxic to the kidneys, severe kidney damage can occur.
No matter the specific harm that you or a member of your family suffered as a result of CrossFit training, it is important that you seek legal assistance with the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible.
Can I Sue for CrossFit Injuries?
Depending on the circumstances of the incident and the harm that you suffered, you could have grounds to sue. Some may argue that each person chooses to participate in CrossFit and do the exercises, so the establishment or even the company do not have liability. However, this is not always the case. First, it is important to note that the company (CrossFit) could be liable for harm resulting from negligently certifying trainers. Second, property owners (gym owners) could be liable for harm in the case that they negligently hire trainers that are not actually certified, for example. Although you could sue for the injuries that you or a loved one suffered due to CrossFit training, the tricky part will be determining who you will be able to sue. Because of this, it is important that you seek legal assistance with the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible. Our CrossFit injury lawyers are ready to evaluate your situation and help you determine the legal options available.
Can I Recover Compensation for CrossFit Injuries?
If your lawsuit is successful, you could be eligible to recover compensation for the harm that you or a loved one suffered. Based on the details surrounding the claim, you could be awarded compensation for some of the following:
- Medical costs
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral/burial costs
- Legal fees
How much is my CrossFit injury case worth? How long will it take for me to get a settlement? If you have these questions, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible as every claim is different. Our lawyers can help you better understand the potential value of your claim and what you could ultimately be awarded if your lawsuit is successful. Our CrossFit lawsuit lawyers are committed to helping you recover the maximum amount of compensation available.
How Long Do I Have to Sue?
In the state of California, all personal injury claims (including wrongful death claims) are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claim on time, then they can lose their right to sue entirely. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total time that you have to file your claim, we recommend that you seek legal assistance with the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers will provide you with the information that you need to understand the time that you have to file your claim.
