In New Mexico, it is common for dance and fitness programs or schools to require a Release from Personal Injury Liability form to be signed by the parent or guardian of students under the age of 18. This form serves as an agreement between the program/school and the parent/legal guardian, protecting both parties from potential legal claims in the event of an injury during participation. The content of the Release from Personal Injury Liability form may vary slightly depending on the specific program or school, but generally includes the following key elements: 1. Identifying Information: The form will typically require the participant's full name, date of birth, and contact information, as well as the parent/guardian's name, contact details, and their relationship to the student. 2. Liability Waiver: The form will contain a statement where the parent or guardian acknowledges that they understand and accept the potential risks associated with dance and fitness activities, and agree to release the program/school from any liability for injuries or damages that may occur during the course of participation. This section may also specify that the parent/guardian is responsible for any medical expenses incurred as a result of an injury. 3. Assumption of Risks: The form may include a provision stating that the parent/guardian acknowledges that dance and fitness activities may involve certain inherent risks, including but not limited to sprains, strains, falls, or contact with other participants, and that they accept these risks on behalf of the student. 4. Emergency Medical Consent: It is common for the form to include a section granting permission for the program/school to seek immediate medical attention for the student if necessary, and to authorize the administration of any medical treatment deemed necessary by a licensed healthcare professional. 5. Parent/Guardian Certification: The form might require the parent/guardian's signature and date, certifying that they are the legal parent/guardian of the student, that they have read and understand the terms and conditions of the liability release, and that they consent to the student's participation in the dance and fitness program or school. It is important to note that the specific wording and content of the release may vary among different dance and fitness programs or schools within New Mexico. It is advisable to carefully read and understand the terms of the liability release before signing, seeking legal advice if necessary, to ensure the rights and safety of the student are protected.
