So waivers are perfectly legal and it's entirely reasonable for you to be asked to sign one. However, a waiver doesn't absolve event organisers or gym owners from having a proper duty of care towards people who have signed a personal injury waiver.
To sum it up, customers can still sue business owners even when they've signed a waiver to use the business.
Many people mistakenly believe that by signing a waiver, they've given up all of their rights to sue the company that made them sign the waiver. This is not necessarily the case. If you are worried about signing a waiver, you should check with an experienced personal injury attorney beforehand.
Generally, a liability waiver document is a legally binding agreement that relinquishes the right of one party to pursue legal remedy for injuries accrued on the property, regardless of fault involved.
In California, waivers of liability are generally enforceable so long as they have been drafted correctly, are explicit as to the scope of coverage, are legible and use high-visibility text, and do not illegally waive unknown or unrelated claims.
Although legal in their own right, waivers can't be used to completely shield event organisers from liability as a result of their negligence. Under the Unfair Contract Terms Act, activity providers can't exclude or restrict liability for injury or death caused as a result of their negligence.
You might think that since you signed a waiver acknowledging the risks of the activity, you have no legal leg to stand on to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waivers can make personal injury lawsuits more complex, but you can still seek damages for injuries that could have and should have been prevented.
In California, a liability waiver must be clear, unambiguous, and explicit. In other words, waivers cannot be printed in faded ink, in small font, on the back of a paper, or in an otherwise ambiguous form. If the waiver that you sign is not represented clearly, it may not hold up in the event of a lawsuit.
Although a waiver is legal, it is misleading. An organiser or business owner cannot exclude or restrict liability for personal injury or death caused by negligence.
