What makes a waiver hold up
Courts enforce waivers that are clear, conspicuous, and specific about the risks being released. Language buried in fine print, or so broad it fails to describe the activity, is frequently struck down.
No waiver protects against gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm in most states. A handful of states, including Louisiana and Virginia, refuse to enforce pre-injury releases for personal injury at all.
Waivers for minors
A parent's signature on a waiver for a child is enforceable in some states and not in others. Even where it is not binding, a signed waiver still documents that the risks were disclosed.
