A violinist turned undercover investigator to get justice after being left disabled by a faulty Pilates machine. The mother-of-three was doing the downward-facing dog exercise on a Pilates machine when it gave way, plummeting her downwards and forwards with a huge force. Ms Meron suffered a fractured left elbow and serious abdominal injuries and has been left with long-term nerve damage. So Ms Meron went undercover to visit Mrs Schuring’s chain of studios across London to collect evidence to support her case for compensation. Now, after seven years, she has finally pinned her injuries to a faulty Pilates machine and, as a result, has been paid substantial damages in a confidential settlement.
