FAQ

Liability waivers, also known as waivers of liability, release forms, and hold harmless agreements , are legally binding documents. A participant, such as a customer or an employee, accepts risk and agrees to waive the company's liability for damages associated with inherent dangers.

Examples of waivers include the waiving of parental rights, waiving liability, tangible goods waivers, and waivers for grounds of inadmissibility. Waivers are common when finalizing lawsuits, as one party does not want the other pursuing them after a settlement is transferred.

A liability waiver can be invalid for a number of reasons. First, it cannot disclaim responsibility for intentional harmful acts, gross negligence, or conduct that puts the participant at risk. It can't do more than disclaim responsibility for ordinary negligence. The document must also not go against state law.

The answer is that, if properly worded and signed, the Waiver is likely valid and will preclude legal claims for injuries.

The answer under Florida law is complicated. Generally, a court will enforce a waiver if certain requirements are met. However, waivers cannot eliminate a company's liability for personal injuries in all cases. Before a court will enforce a waiver, they must take a close look at it.

But a waiver is not always valid. It is not always sufficient to excuse one from obligations under the law. Under Article 6 of the Civil Code, rights may be waived, unless the waiver is contrary to law, public order, public policy, morals or good customs, or prejudicial to a third person with a right recognized by law.

Hold harmless agreements are generally valid in Florida. However, whether you can still sue for damages depends on the specific language in the agreement. Suppose a hold harmless agreement does not specifically stipulate that a property owner cannot be held liable for negligence or negligent actions.
