Los Angeles Waiver of Liability Attorneys

A waiver of liability is a document signed by someone who may potentially be injured in a Los Angeles, California activity.  The purpose of this waiver of liability is to protect the owner or person who may ultimately be charged with causing your serious injuries.  You are therefore releasing them, in advance, of any potential Los Angeles Personal Injury.

These liability release documents have become very common in and around Los Angeles, California.  These waivers of liability are particular common if you participate in any recreational activities.  Some of the most common types of recreational activities which may require you to sign these waivers are amusement parks, gun shooting ranges, bicycle rental stores, bungee jump facilities, skate rental shops, ski slopes, and skydiving.

With some of the recreational activities mentioned above, some Los Angeles courts have determined that they are inherently dangerous, such as bungee jumping.  For participants who voluntary participate in a sport or recreational activity that is inherently dangerous, the courts have determined that any participant who was injured has voluntary waived their right, or their family's right to recover on their behalf, in the event of a Los Angeles Personal Injury.  These people have therefore assumed the risk of being injured while doing that activity.


What is Assumption of Risk?

An assumption of risk is a legal theory where the participants without signing any legal documents have assumed that there is a possibility, no matter how great or small, that I may be personally injured.  Additionally, if I am injured in a foreseeable way, then I have assumed this risk, and I would be unable to recover even with a Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer.

Assumption of the risk has been upheld in various sporting events including baseball parks and golf courses where someone was hit or injured with a stray baseball or golf ball.
