Teacher sues gym after smashing into wall

An English language teacher who was doing a bear-crawl as part of gym class smashed into a wall and brought a claim for damages against the gym to the High Court yesterday.

Camille Evans of O’Connell St, Blackpool, Cork, is suing River’s Edge fitness centre on Sullivan’s Quay, Cork, and she commenced her case before Mr Justice Michael Hanna yesterday.

Ms Evans, 41, who teaches English to foreign students in Cork, was at the gym class in River’s Edge three years ago when the accident happened. She fractured her left elbow and her other injuries included damage to her left knee.
