My finger was strained 1 year ago when I caught a medicine ball badly during an exercise class. The class was held at the city park but was offered by my gym and led by a trainer from my gym. I had treatment at an urgent care center, several visits to a specialist, and months of OT to increase mobility.
I received a letter from a law firm asking me to provide details of the injury: where it occurred and who was involved and who their insurance company is. My health insurance provider confirms that this law firm is their subrogation provider. My provider also claims that because they are an administrative policy the new antisubrogation laws in NY state do not apply.
Can my health insurance provider compell me to provide this information? I do not want my gym or the trainer sued for an accident that was no one's fault. I think a law suit would seriously strain my relationship with my gym. Can the gym and trainer be held liable for injuries sustained during their classes? Can the health insurance provider retaliate by denying coverage for this injury or future health care issues if I don't answer the survey?
