FAQ
"Assumption of the risk" is a legal doctrine that may prevent an injured person from winning a personal injury lawsuit or getting an injury-related insurance settlement. The idea is that the plaintiff can't hold the defendant responsible if the plaintiff knowingly exposed him or herself to the possibility of an injury.
In summary: The assumption of risk doctrine does have a place in cases in which a patient rejected proper treatment despite appropriate warning but it does not apply, through informed consent, to cases in which the patient agreed to a recommended treatment after having been warned of its risks.
Voluntary assumption of risk means that when a person engages in an activity, and they accept and are aware of the risks inherent in that activity, they cannot later complain if they sustain an injury during the activity.
Primary vs. "Primary" assumption of risk occurs when the plaintiff knows about a particular risk andthrough words or conductaccepts that risk, thereby relieving the defendant of its duty of care. The primary assumption of risk defense operates as a complete bar to recovery.
