Finley Center — Local services in Hoover

I was one of three people who fell at the Finley Center during a show in 2018. The reason we all fell was because the staff put down the wrong ramp at the vendors' entrance. Mistakes happen, but the Finley Center took no responsibility at all. The EMTs who were there offered to take me to the ER, but I said no. I was the only person there manning my booth, and I though I could shake it off. I later took myself. I had no insurance, so I didn't want to incur huge bills. I tried to exist with the pain. I ended up calling the Finley Center to see if they would cover my medical costs. Bottom line? No. They dragged it out, hoping I would go away. They tried to blame the organization hosting the event. That was wrong. That organization didn't cause the problem. Fast forward a year. I had to get a total reverse shoulder replacement. A minimum of a year's recovery. The surgery cost $125,000. And 2 years of not being able to work. I will never swim a crawl again-im used to swimming daily. I will never be able to put my right hand behind my back. Of course, im right-handed. I hope the mayor of Hoover, his assistant and all the others involved can sleep at night. What they did was wrong. I asked for nothing except medical expenses. Do you really want to chance being hurt on their premises and having to go through what I have?? Think twice before going to the Finley Center.

By the way, I chose not to sue. That's not how I work. Only lawyers and "experts" and insurance...

My car was broken into within 3 hours of me arriving there in broad daylight. It was a basketball tournament with thousands of people there no one saw anything or heard anything.i asked employees is there any security watching the parking lot and they said security is only on the inside because people get rowdy. I guess the outside doesn’t matter. I was also told there is no cameras. I was parked fairly close to the building. Employees were nice and helpful gave me trash bags to put over my window. I believe we were targeted by someone sitting and watching the parking lot because they only broke into my car and there were so many other cars around me. No security in the parking which there should be bc the lot is huge and there are so many out of town people that travel...

I'm very concerned about the security of this environment. My mother is a senior citizen and she had her belongings(jogging suit jacket, ipod case, and baseball cap) stolen on Friday 4/8/22 while she was walking. Thankfully, she decided not to leave her car keys in her jacket like usual otherwise her car could have been stolen as well. Upon leaving she found her cap on the ground in the parking lot which indicates it was intentional. She has filed a police report. Hopefully, the hoover detective will pursue all avenues. If you are elderly and going for exercise make sure you secure all belongings and take protection because this is a dangerous...
