Letter from attorney to opposing counsel requesting documentation concerning homestead exemption for change of venue motion.
A signed event liability waiver is a standard legal document. It helps protect businesses and event organizers if injuries or property damage occur during an event. Everyone who wants to participate will need to sign the release of liability form before entering the event.
A liability waiver protects California businesses and organizations from some lawsuits. But when they engage in “gross negligence” or “recklessness” and you get hurt, they can still be held legally accountable.
For a waiver to be enforceable, it's important that the party signing it does so voluntarily and with a full understanding of its implications. If a party can demonstrate that they were coerced, misled, or lacked the capacity to understand the waiver, a court may invalidate it.
When is a Waiver required: A waiver should be used for activities that have inherent risk, particularly those involving physical activities that can result in bodily injury or property damage or any off-campus travel even if it is local.
