Augusta Health sued for  million after trip and fall

STAUNTON – A Valentine’s Day tumble that injured a woman last year at a hospital fitness center has resulted in a $10 million lawsuit, court records show.

Filed Jan. 13 in Augusta County Circuit Court, the plaintiff, listed as Tiffany Andrews, was at the Augusta Health Fitness Center in Fishersville on Feb. 14, 2024, when she reportedly tripped and fell. The defendant is listed as Augusta Health Care Inc., which operates the fitness center.

The lawsuit claims the roof to the fitness center was damaged at the time and said water would leak onto the facility’s indoor track when it rained, creating a tripping hazard. Andrews, unaware the roof was reportedly leaking, was running on the track when she “tripped and fell on the damaged portion of the indoor track,” the lawsuit states.
