Massage Envy’s Policy Attempts to Force Women to Surrender Their Rights

Massage Envy has a clause in its customer agreements that states customers surrender their right to bring a claim or take legal action against Massage Envy. Courts can strike down these types of provisions for being unconscionable, especially because customers are in an unfair bargaining position when signing these boilerplate agreements. There is also evidence indicating that former employees were trained not to encourage police to show up at their location when a customer reported a sexual assault or sexual harassment event.
The company allegedly does not require reporting suspected assaults to the relevant state’s Massage Therapy Board. Multiple cases against Massage Envy involve employees who had already received prior complaints of sexual assault by customers. The company allegedly did nothing about these complaints, allowing perpetrators to keep preying on vulnerable clients. Instead of addressing these policy failures and taking action to make customers safer, they deny liability.

Recovering Compensation After Being Harassed or Assaulted by a Massage Therapist

Customers who get massages are somewhat vulnerable and have to trust the company to hire trustworthy massage therapists. When massage companies engage in negligent hiring or negligent safety practices, victims can hold the company liable for their injuries.

For example, if a Massage Envy location hired a massage therapist with a credible sexual harassment complaint filed against them, and the employee went on to assault another customer, Massage Envy acted negligently. The customer would be able to bring a personal injury claim against the business for failure to use reasonable care to prevent a foreseeable injury when hiring the employee.

Similarly, suppose Massage Envy fails to respond adequately to known instances of sexual assault and harassment to prevent more from happening in the future. In that case, customers who become injured at their location have a right to pursue a personal injury claim for damages. Victims of sexual assault can recover compensation for their past and future medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and suffering they have endured as victims of sexual assault.
